I used the TSVN->Rename command from the popup to move the files, since I didn't recall the RMB drag&drop feature, but believe it does a 'svn move' command anyway, so that should be fine, shouldn't it?

No. The patch function just uses svn diff, which is not very good at
handling addition of files. This should be resolved when subversion
extends its patch file functionality. I think this is scheduled for
