I go back and forth on this matter.  See, SVN has no real move command
(at least, as far as I know, but I'm for sure one of the least
experienced SVN users on this forum).  So it's perfectly in sync with
what's really going on with a move to display a deleted and an added
icon.

On the other hand, this lack of moving is one of the most frustrating
things about SVN, because let's face it, I'm used to the Finder, where
to move something, you just, well, move it.  Having to remember to
copy it, instead, and then add/delete in SVN is cumbersome when it
works, and downright aggravating when I forget and start moving whole
directories around.  So it is nice to have a GUI to at least make a
move more logical (just have to remember to not do it in the
Finder!).  And in that case, maybe it would be nice to have an extra
non-standard icon to signify such an event.

In either case, I find it a pretty good practice to make the move, and
any necessary related changes, and then commit.  Your commit is now
simply just to register the moving of files.  Then move forward with
your regular development, and commit as usual.  This should keep your
icon weirdness to a minimum, as you won't be in the move = delete +
add situation for too long.
