Do an appropriate find statement to list all the files you want:

$ find . -iname '*.gif'

Then tack on an xargs statement to run svn mv on all of them:

$ find. -iname '*.gif' | xargs -I% svn mv % /new/path

You can test by putting an echo statement in there:

$ find. -iname '*.gif' | xargs -I% echo svn mv % /new/path
