There is also 

5)
svn co --depth empty https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/
cd dist
svn up --parents --set-depth infinity dev/subversion release/subversion/
svn mv dev/subversion/* release/subversion/

The semantics are the same as unix mv: if the 2nd argument already

the parent of the 2nd argument must exist.

Who said per release?  You can use

/release/$tlp/foo/

with directory moves, where "foo" is some constant string.
