Currently, "svn rm" supports "--keep-local" (as in - record the change in the db, but do not change the working copy files), but neither svn mv, nor svn cp do.
Common use case: % mv a b # Ah, crap, I meant "svn mv"! % svn mv -keep-local a b Of course, there is always the workaround of "mv b a; svn mv a b", but it's quite annoying to have to do it.
