RE: [PATCH] Fix for renaming errors on Samba working copy

From: Alan Wood <alan.wood_at_clear.net.nz>

Just an update on this issue:
 Samba Bug 5797 ( reported by Sebastian Krysmanksi ) has now been fixed in Samba
Version 3.3.0pre2. So this patch will no longer be needed once this version of Samba
makes it out into the real world. Could take some time for this to happen though so I
would still like to see this go though on the 1.5.x branch.
