Preventing email spoofing

Subversion-friendly Shell hacking?

I am now reading about Subversion. Turns out that in order to get Subversion to properly manage and keep track of history of files even when they are copied or renamed, one should use 'svn copy' instead of 'cp' and 'svn move' instead of 'mv'. I wonder whether shells (such as bash) have a facility
