The above sequence using cp and rm will keep working as it did before.

If you use "svn mv" you'll have to commit both sides of the move in
the same commit. Else the commit fails.

Currently it behaves like this in the trunk code (1.8-to-be):

$ svn mv alpha alpha2
A alpha2
D alpha
$ svn status
D alpha
> moved to alpha2
A + alpha2
> moved from alpha
$ svn commit -m "just one side of the move" alpha
svn: E200009: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E200009: Cannot commit '/tmp/svn-sandbox/trunk/alpha' because it was moved to '/tmp/svn-sandbox/trunk/alpha2' which is not part of the commit; both sides of the move must be committed together
