Slightly improved script attached.

REM My CWD is C:\SVN\tests
set REPO=file:///c:/SVN/tests/test_repo

svnadmin create test_repo
svn co %REPO% test_wc

cd test_wc

REM Create file first, then directory
echo "Some text" > file1.c
svn add file1.c
svn ci . -m"Create a file"
svn mkdir dir1
svn ci . -m"Create a directory"

REM Create directory first, then file
svn mkdir dir2
svn ci . -m"Create a directory"
echo "Some text" > file2.c
svn add file2.c
svn ci . -m"Create a file"
echo "More text" >> file1.c
echo "More text" >> file2.c

svn mv file1.c dir1
svn mv file2.c dir2

svn ci . -m"Files moved and modififed - modification isn't important but makes for a better demo"

svn diff dir1/file1.c -r PREV
svn diff dir2/file2.c -r PREV
