fair enuf ... but once i've done the 'svn mv' locally, and make any changes to now-merged file collections in "apples/"
and "oranges/" (per my earlier example ...) when I commit, WHAT am I committing back INTO? the SEPARATE dirs (e.g.,
.../apples/ and .../dev_apples/? or, now, everything back into "just" .../apples/)?
