<p>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. Subversion supports
the following types of moves within a single repository:</p>

<p>When moving large trees you should be aware that the
URL → URL moves are lighter than WC → WC moves. Moving
nodes inside a working copy does more than just change directory
listings (it will copy files, manage temporary files, and expand
keywords) and may be significantly slower.</p>
<p>Also bear in mind that a WC → WC move in a
mixed-revision working copy may yield unexpected results
(see <a class="xref" href="svn.basic.in-action.html#svn.basic.in-action.mixedrevs" title="Mixed-revision working copies">the section called “Mixed-revision working copies”</a>).</p>

<p>Move a file in your working copy:</p>

<pre class="screen">
$ svn move foo.c bar.c
A bar.c

<p>Move a file in the repository (this is an immediate commit,
so it requires a commit message):</p>
