This behavior is by design, but it may not be what is expected. Moving a
dimension is really just moving the dimension text DimString entities,
so things have been coded so that moving the points in some entity does
not automagically move the DimStrings of associated dimensions. It could
be time to reassess this decision ...

There are no notices of merge conflicts or other oddities, so it looks
like your subversion repo is in good shape.
