It not that easy. If you use branches you will notice that moved
directories in one branch are not (well) supported during a merge.
But you can still merge each moved directory (and file!) separately.

There are always problems with subversion (but they are usually fixed
very fast). Nevertheless the problem I mentioned is as far as I know not
considered a bug since svn doesn't distinguish between "move" and "del +
copy".

I suggest to avoid not necessary renamings when branches are used (or
check current svn development before you do so).
