I have an XCode project in SVN. I would like to relocate some files from one physical directory to another but can't seem to find a way to do this in XCode. If I do the move in XCode it simply moves the file references from one Group folder to the next, without changing their location on disk. If I move the files in Organizer - well Organizer seems to be SVN unaware as Ive just spent the afternoon manually unwinding the move so that I can do a check in. At the moment my only option(s) seem to be: 1. lots of svn command line mojo, or 2. do a checkout on windows where TortiseSVN can be used to do all kinds of stuff (But then my XCode project will be all confused).
I'm really hoping ive missed something...

Knowledge BaseClick the arrow button to the right of the file and select Move or Copy file from the dropdown menu. When you choose Copy this file from the move or copy dropdown, you will then be able to select which project to copy it to. You can make a copy of the file in the existing project or in another project.
Xcode offers several ways to add existing files and folders to your project: Drag the files from the Finder into the Project navigator. Click the Add button (+) in the Project navigator's filter bar, and choose Add Files to “projectName”. Choose File > Add Files to “projectName”.
Select the file and click Open. Xcode will open the project. On the left side you will see the Project Navigator, with a folder representing your project by name. From here you can expand the folders and explore their contents.
Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to do a svn copy in Xcode 4. Your only options for management of subversion repositories in the Xcode organizer are: Make Directory, Delete, and import. And as for dealing with committed files and folders, the options are commit, update, Add, and Ignore. So as you suggested you are going to need to do some svn command line work, or find your self a better GUI svn client. I use to use SvnX when I worked full time with svn. But yes your best bet if you don't want to work in the command line is to find a good GUI svn client, there are a few to choose from see Best subversion client for Mac OS.
