So svn did transfer the new file data. If it wouldn't do that, then the file wouldn't be correct in the repository. I'm not sure what you have problems with: an svn move/rename is always just a link, but if you also change the file before or after the move/rename, svn also *has to* transmit those changes. If you use a rename but actually replace the file with a different one (a pdf is completely different than a docx file), then you don't really expect that svn does only a link and not store the new pdf file data?
