Hmm... what was asked for, exactly?

The important point here is that it's no longer in the *gnucash* source
tree ...  by removing and adding it, we lose the history link; being
able to do `svn log lib/qof/gnc-numeric.c` and get something more
interesting than "created on 11/7/05" should be possible.

It sounds like you should:

* revert all of these changes
* re-migrate the sources (from the backup, using `svn move`, avoiding 
  adding temporary files, &c.)
* re-test
* re-commit

I don't know how else to "help", here.  I'm sorry you lost a bunch of
work.  I don't know why you didn't stop and re-start as soon as you ran
into the first problem, but plowed ahead.  I don't know why you didn't
get your WC into the tested state you wanted before committing all the
changes at once.

In any case, we're now in this state.  I think it makes sense to revert
to a clean state, re-do the work and commit it when it's ready.

:(  Sorry, man.
