The only annoyance is on the client, the server handles this better. 
Instead of copying (or even moving) the local files, I think it has to 
download all the copied files from the server again which is kinda 
stupid - but it works well, and as it's not a feature you use 3 times 
every day, it doesn't matter if it's not as efficient as the rest.
For those that wonder, under Linux both Subversion and Jam are much 
faster than they are on BeOS. Expect that to improve under Haiku ;-)
