I haven't tested this but my first idea would be to use changelists.

Add Folder1 and Folder2 to a changelist

svn cl test Trunk\Folder1
svn cl test Trunk\Folder2

and then remove File1 from it

svn cl test --remove Trunk\Folder1\File1

Check that the changelist contains exactly what you want

svn st

Finally, commit using the changelist

svn ci --changelist test -m "msg"

As I said, I haven't tested this. Good luck
