There's no data loss here, there's just some confusion about what you
scheduled in your working copy.

1. you scheduled assigned/fbos/0003/resolution for deletion.

2. when you ran 'svn move assigned/fbos/003', that was equivalent to

     - svn copy assigned/fbos/0003 resolved/0003
     - svn rm assigned/fbos/0003

  So the copy is now a schedule add, with *local* changes within it:
  the deletion of 'resolution'.

And that's exactly what the commit did.... except for that last line.

I think you probably scheduled '0003/*' for deletion, rather than
'0003/resolution'. It's not like the filesystem "lost" your
status.txt file. The commit explicitly deleted it, meaning it was
scheduled for addition.
