They're not the same operation, though. Moving a working copy involves
copying the files from the server to your working copy, then adding
them, then submitting them back to the server, which is way more
expensive than doing everything on the server. Maybe Subversion should
issue a warning if it thinks you're trying to perform an operation on
the working copy which really ought to be run on the server.
