Generally, you can commit your changes to any file which hasn't been
changed in the repository, even if the repository had commits to other
files. This applies to 'content changes'.
There actually is a section on this in 'The Book', which also
explicitly addresses 'tree changes':
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.basic.in-action.html#svn.basic.in-action.mixedrevs.limits
; summary is: you can't commit to directories which aren't HEAD. This
applies to properties, adds, deletes and thus to copies and moves.
