Aha, then you're right that doing it on the working copy is the correct
thing to do. How does Eclipse do a move? IntelliJ will ask its VCS
plugin to move each file in turn, which could cause problems if you do
it on a big directory. Calling out to Subversion once for each file
might well be the slow things down.
