Update will say something like "restoring missing folder". In the commit
dialog, the state of the file/dir will be set to "missing" (of course, only
until it is restored as part of an update).

Note that you can fix your working copy afterwards still. For that, select
both the old name (marked as missing) and the new name (marked as unversioned)
and select "repair move" from the context menu. However, I just tried it with
a directory, and it didn't work, only with a file. The moved directory wasn't
shown as "unversioned". Technically, it is a working copy that is just stored
inside another working copy, so it actually is versioned, but there is no way
to get it displayed in the commit dialog. I guess this is a bug.

Cheers!
