Hi Nathan Thanks for your answer. I didn't make this clear, but I do understand the concept of Update and had updated the working copy before attempting the rename.
I have, just now, made a clean checkout and repeated the rename, but I get a similar result. Another team member had attempted the rename earlier today but it failed with a permissions error. Could there be some incomplete transaction lurking in the database that is causing a tree conflict? Or some other problem, possibly associated with the use of spaces?
