I'm not 100% certain what it will do, but I'm fairly sure that it will
*not* follow the rename.
If I recall correctly, what it will do is something like this:
- if you're moving/renaming a folder *below* the topmost folder that
someone has already checked out:
- any commits by them involving that folder will fail until they do
an update
- the update will see the move as a delete followed by an add, which
means that they will download lots of file data
- if they had modified files in the folder being deleted, then the
modified files will be left alone (still in the "wrong" folder, and no
longer under version control), and the latest checked-in versions will
show up in the "new" folder.
- if you're moving/renaming a folder *above* (or equal to) the topmost
folder that they've checked out:
- they will not be able to commit or update until they execute an
"svn switch" to the new location
