I actually though of this, but did not do that because of the same
concern. Anyway, rename.sh is in svn now and a script is ready to do the
change, which basically generates and executes a huge list of perl
-pi.bak -e 's/([^|\W])old/\1new/g' file
SVN is more convenient for us here. As for using a wiki page, I don't
think the security would have been a big issue (if we'd remember to check
the history to see what changes had been made).
The big problem would number of lines, about a thousand, which makes
editing painful from a browser. For fun I split the files on the page into
subdirectories (this also makes it easier to look at the list IMHO).
Slightly better, but with other drawbacks. An interesting exercise anyway,
and I felt an itch to try and create a script or something that within a
wiki page can automatically generate a nice tree list of all the source
files. Maybe doxygen would be good for this.
And LyX users might be awed by seeing the list of files that create their
beloved application ;-)
