Right. svn is designed following the Unix conventions that commands
don't see the asterisks, they're expanded by the shell.

Did you mean the ~ literally? That looks like a working copy move,
which would imply you have all your tags checked out. I was assuming
you'd do a repository move, with full URLs specified for both source and
dest. I think a repository move would be a lot faster.
