This is what I don't understand why.
I don't see a logical reason for this
(except implementation problems; I don't know anything
about subversion implementation details.)

Currently I would say that the natural solution is
to allow transitive copy operations,
and so transitive moves are automatically possibly, too.
I think it is fine that a move is implemented as copy/delete,
and I wouldn't change this.
