Given the difficulty you're having, I don't see why you're so fixated  
on Subversion when you're the only one accessing the repository. Why  
not use a version-tracking backup utility like rdiff-backup? Then you  
can just do:

rdiff-backup source destination

All of the changes (including moves and renames) will then be taken  
care of automatically. It works over the Internet, and it can roll  
back changes to any earlier date, just like Subversion.

You can install it from the unstable tree in Fink.
