Problem: If I rename/move folder with Subversion working copy to another location in file system, svn will complain that it "is not a working copy" anymore. One has to do clean checkout to fix that.

Reason: We have some projects with about 1GB after svn export each + branches. It takes too much time to do clean checkout even over LAN (ssh), let alone WAN. Another issue is that, as we use SmartSVN for Windows, it will also have to rebuild chache which also take a lot of time. And another thing it will take hours to recompile it for every target we support.

Question: Is it possible to rename local folder without clean checkout?
