Remember that 'svn mv' is exactly the same as 'svn cp; svn rm'. So
the only problem here is that you've scheduled the original 'subdir'
for deletion. You cannot delete a directory whose working revision
is not HEAD. You must update first.

Please read this section of the book to understand mixed-revision
working-copies:
