I also ran into this today. Because there is still a .svn folder in
dir2, it seems to think that dir2 is a seperate checkout of dir1, and
if the destination was within the working folder root, it will update
dir1 and dir2 if you do a global update.
I also had unpredictable results when doing a global commit.
Sometimes it added the folder to its new location in the repo, and
sometimes it didn't. I couldn't figure out the deciding factor,
although I suspect it was the difference between moving and copying
the files.
Just to clarify, it wasn't me mov/copying the files, I just had to put
out the fires that arose. I have educated the rest of my team now, so
hopefully it won't happen again.
