I use this sequence:

[expn:james] ~/perl (5) % svn add foo
A foo
[expn:james] ~/perl (6) % mv foo bar
[expn:james] ~/perl (8) % svn del foo
D foo
[expn:james] ~/perl (9) % svn add bar
A bar
[expn:james] ~/perl (10) % svn stat
A bar
[expn:james] ~/perl (11) %

Because the pending add is cancelled out before the commit, the
existence
of foo is never reflected in the repo.

Regards.
