In Subversion 1.5, you will be able to say

        $ svn mv dir1 dir2 quux
        $ svn commit

See:

        http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=747

Until then, you'll have to do each move separately:

        $ svn mv dir1 quux
        $ svn mv dir2 quux
        $ svn commit

If you want to do it remotely on repository URLs without using a
working copy, you may be able to do so with mucc (called "svnmucc" in
1.5):

mucc.c
