svn move — Move a file or directory.
Description
This command moves a file or directory in your working copy or in the repository.
Tip
This command is equivalent to an svn
copy followed by svn
delete.

Subversion does not support moving between working
copies and URLs. In addition, you can only move files
within a single repository—Subversion does not
support cross-repository moving.

Move a file in your working copy:
$ svn move foo.c bar.c
A bar.c
D foo.c
Move a file in the repository (an immediate commit,

http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/bar.c
