Thanks for explaining as this did look a bit odd.
One way to avoid that is to use "svn move" to move the files rather
than adding them again. When you do that, SVN shows that the file was
copied from somewhere else in the repo and so it is fairly clear that
it isn't a new work but just a derivative. This also has the
advantage that the history of the file is maintained so users can
track changes even across the move. It has an even bigger benefit in
that it makes life easier for the lawyers, and a happy lawyer is much
nicer to have than a grumpy one :-)
Some IDEs which grew up with CVS don't seem to realize that SVN
allows them to just move things rather than delete old and add new
(losing history in the process). If that's the case, then you can
still get the benefits of moving through the svn command.
