SVN Move with history

I have repository with a base and branches folders, with code in base. I
want to fork the project, and make the folder structure as follows.

From
base\code.c

To
somefolder/base/code.c

I have used the svnadmin dump / load ( with --parent-path ) to make these
changes and have the desired output. However, I want to know how to use SVN
move and maintain my history on that file and get the same results. If I
make the somefolder and base folders and do SVN Move on the code.c it queues
the commit for an add on the new file, and delete on the old. I loose all
the history. How can I maintain the history? Even page 269 of the
Subversion PDF manual shows that move is really just a add / delete on the
file, and history is lost.....
