tortoise svn: drag & drop with right mouse button to move a file from one directory to another

How to do this wasn't obvious so I'd been doing these file moves from within the Repo Browser.

This morning I finally Googled it to see how it could/should be done, and it was so EASY! Just select the file to move from one directory with the RIGHT mouse button and then when you drag & drop it to a new directory, you can get the option to move & rename it.

Note that when you next do a SVN Commit, you need to Commit from the parent directory of the two directories that have changed--the parent of both the source and the destination directory from/to which you moved the file. Otherwise there will be a complaint that you need to do both commits together.
