That's exactly what I want, yes.

Did you mean
mv $1 $2
svn mv $1 $2

?

If so, unfortunately I tried that, and the svn mv command fails if the
file is already gone. It throws an error that the source path doesn't
exist, and using --force it doesn't work.

I'm debating writing a little utility that can do an inform_copy and an
inform_delete, by copying the tag in the entries file, adding the
appropriate attributes, and copying the pristine text and props files
and the local props file.

From what I can make out, I should have to add the following for a copy:

   copied="true"
   copyfrom-rev="591"
   schedule="add"
   copyfrom-url="http://localhost/repo/FROM/MyTextDoc.txt"

and the following for a delete:

        schedule="delete"

But I'd like to avoid touching the .svn directory myself if there's
anything else that can do this for me.
