Copying 1 GB takes time...
You can
1) create URL -> URL copy,
then do "svn delete URL" as a separate commit
2) do not delete the unneeded subdirectory, but either do "svn switch"
(should preserve unmodified data in place), or a sparse checkout
I think that both action in 1) should be possible to do in one commit
using svnmucc program - but I have never used it.
