See methods rename() and rename_s() with argument newsuperior. You can
rename a sub-tree with e.g. with OpenLDAP/back-hdb.

Or are you talking about moving sub-trees in case the LDAP server does
not support sub-tree renaming?

I have something slightly more efficient based on evaluating
hasSubordinates or similar attributes for sub-tree deletion in web2ldap.
