As you know, you must use "svn mv" commands to move versioned items.
Ideally, use a Subversion-aware IDE that does this for you. If that's
not possible, then after you refactor in your Subversion-unaware IDE,
you'll have to un-refactor it on the command line (using e.g. "mv"
commands (not "svn mv" commands) to move things back the way they
were), then re-refactor using "svn mv" commands. Then you can "svn
commit" the changes.
