(to ease one's reading, commands are ls, copy and move top directory)

Haven't seen them in practice. It seemed possible with svn import: if there were no branches at start, and then someone did svn mv . trunk. But it turns out that my svn client doesn't allow such move. So more like a least surprise purpose.
