You can revert one or more revision by doing a reverse merge. Say you moved
branch/folder to branch/newfolder in revision 20, you checkout our branch
and do the reverse merge like this:
svn merge -r 20:19 http://srv/svn/branch/folder /wc-of-branch/
and then commit.

Those things happen. Luckely, when you know Subversion well enough there's
always a way to solve even the most stupid mistake!
