Behind the scenes it creates a fileattr.xml with the new name and the 
branch(es)/revision/date that it applies to.

Moving across directories is more difficult, but I personally don't recommend 
it (most examples of renaming I've seen it's just changing a class from one 
name to another).

Interestingly SVN doesn't have rename either - there is a 'rename' command for 
svn.exe but it just issues a ''copy'' then ''delete'' over the protocol - the 
''copy'' creates a reference to the old revision that it was copied from...  
From a pedantic technical POV therefore CVSNT and EVS have 'rename' and SVN 
doesn't ;)

Regards,


Arthur
