My vote is to move to SVC. I know it takes a little to get used and that you must learn soething new but, to me, the result worths the trouble. For example, you can rename and delete dirs. I am running another project and I moved to SCV in a weekend. I currently use TortoiseSVN from Windows XP and it is really very simple and confortable to use.
I strongly support the moving proposal.
