No, there's no way to know. Somebody could have run any of the
following commands, and they'd all result in the exact same commit:

     svn mv URL-of-A URL-of-B
     svn mv A B; svn commit
     svn copy A B; svn rm A; svn commit
     http MOVE request sent from a generic DAV client

These actions all send the exact same commands to the server: they
build a commit transaction which copies something, then deletes
something. There's no way to know what the exact client commands were.
