Does your refactoring include renaming/moving folders? In that case,
you're corrupting the working copy. Your only solution would be to get
an svn plugin for your IDE which can tell svn about your refactoring.

If you're only moving/renaming files, try this:

It tries, but it doesn't know how since you've messed up the working copy :)
