How should we differ between normal explorer renames, renames which
other programs do and real svn renames? An svn rename still renames the
real file, but also changes the entries file in the .svn folder.
Also, if you rename a file, we can only detect that it already has been
renamed - we don't get notifications *before* the rename happens.
So it's not possible to do an 'svn ren' after you already renamed a
file, because then the original file isn't there anymore, and the target
file already exists (so Subversion will throw an error).
Workaround: after every rename, rename the file back, do an 'svn ren'
(and set a filter to the notification events so we don't catch these
renames anymore). Yuck!
