Just following from a distance here, but from the looks of it, I think
option 2 from Daniel's suggestions would work quite well for projects
which don't have a directory per release (and if you want the move to
be done server-side). From 'svn help move':
usage: move SRC... DST
So you can simply give multiple sources and one destination directory. As in:
svn mv ^/dev/httpd/CHANGES_2.2 ^/dev/httpd/CHANGES_2.2.21 ^/release/httpd
However, I'm not sure about your exact example. I don't think you can
do the R (replace) without a working copy.
