Expected behavior. When you move files, whether it's via Windows
Explorer or Project Explorer or anything else, the Subversion Working
Copy metadata needs to be made aware of the change. Out of the box,
Visual Studio doesn't know what to do with Subversion data, so that
doesn't happen.

If you're using Visual Studio, install ankhSVN. It plugs into VS and
will take care of this and most other SVN functionality right inside
the IDE.
