I realize this might be an easy question that I may have overlooked in the documentation, but I didn't find any other questions like this.
When I move a file, or in my case a whole ton of files (I moving everything into trunk from repo root) do I lose revision history? My thought is it looks a lot like it's deleting and adding files and I would therefore lose history. Thoughts?

Moving/renaming in subversion keeps history intact. Save this answer.
Moving files and folders select the files or directories you want to move. right drag them to the new location inside the working copy. release the right mouse button. in the popup menu select Context Menu → SVN Move versioned files here.
They are stored in the svn:log property. You can add the --revprop flag to the various property commands to view & edit this property.
Use the revision log dialog Select the file or folder in which you need to revert the changes. If you want to revert all changes, this should be the top level folder. Select TortoiseSVN → Show Log to display a list of revisions. You may need to use Show All or Next 100 to show the revision(s) you are interested in.
No.
svn move is equivalent to svn copy, and then svn delete. Copied files share their history with the originals.

You won't lose anything:
From svn help mv:
Note: this subcommand is equivalent to a 'copy' and 'delete'.
Therefore, from svn help copy:
copy (cp): Duplicate something in working copy or repository, remembering history.
