   Actually I think you might lose history wit an svn rename.

   If the trunk contains all the individual updates done
to it, and SAMBA_3_0 contains the updates to it, adding a
big single update from trunk will retain both, albeit
in two places, while renaming trunk to SAMBA_3_0 will
arguably wipe out all the old history in trunk...
