Delete should be as simple as duplicating the Add command and  
replacing "add" with "delete" (or "rm"). Within the confines of TM,  
you'd also really be obliged to add a warning dialog, to make sure  
that's what the user really intended, because "svn rm" deletes the  
file from the working copy immediately. On the command line, you can  
get it back using "svn revert", but within TM, the document would be  
gone, so there's nothing to execute a command on.

Moves (and copies) are a bit more work, because you need user  
interface to set the destination. A simple implementation would be to  
write some AppleScript to get a local destination folder within your  
Subversion workspace. A complete implementation would allow you to  
move to anywhere within the repository.
