svn move, file gone

This one puzzled me quite a bit, that was a strong case of PEBKAC but still…

I have a file in directory A, I do an svn move from A to B, so now the file is in B. I commit the whole thing, do an update on another computer and A turns into B, but the file is not there anymore… What happened?

svn log tells me the file should be there, svn list confirms… yet there is no file on the computer.

$ svn info | grep '^Depth:'
Depth: empty

Damnit, sparse directories!

svn co --set-depth infinite
