Moving Directories with History

I have a SVN structure like this:

/Projects
    /Project1
    /Project2
/someFolder
    /Project3
    /Project4

I would like to move all the projects into the /Projects folder, which means I want to move Projects 3 and 4 from /someFolder into the /projects folder.

The caveat: I'd like to keep the full history. I assume that every client would have to check out the stuff from the new location again, which is fine, but I still wonder what the simplest approach is to move directories without completely destroying the history?

Subversion 1.5 if that matters.

svn help rename

Moving/renaming in subversion keeps history intact.

svn move SRC DST

$ svn move -m "Move a file" http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/foo.c http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/bar.c

svn move will keep your history.
