This is absolutely the way to work with svn. svn mv X, svn cp X Y,  
svn rm Z. It starts at the command line. Check the results, only then  
check in.

And I'd never want it automatically commit, nor automagically update.
"svn up", "svn ci", that's at hard as it gets, and it should be a  
concious act.

Pray tell me, how do you set the svn:ignore property to exclude,
say, all *.o files in a directory tree?

AFAIK this is stored with the repository, which of course is a good  
thing,
so that your team mates won't accidentally check in things
that don't belong in _that_ specific place of the repository,
while *.o files may make perfect sense in your release database.

Oh, and sorry for turning TextMate into an svn forum. It shouldn't  
take long.
