+1 to put this in 1.7, or one more 1.6.x

In my company, we've been talking about this incident for a day and a half,
and we'll be working for a few other days trying to recall all recent "svn
move on dirs" and double-check all of them to see if we've lost things: it's
really scaring to know that svn could have removed modified things without
saying anything. I'd classify this as blocker, cause it seriously impairs
merge operations for weeks, even after simple refactoring tasks (we have
many different branches and sub-branches, thus modifications take time to
spread and reach all branches).

Thanks
