Is "repair move" an actual feature somewhere? I've never managed to
find it if so. (I know how to do it manually of course.)

And that workflow probably ought to work too. Again, my point is that
there isn't any documented guidance on it one way or the other (or a
third) except for what's in the SVN book, which doesn't match what the
TSVN feature does.
