Wait, how did a/b/e change to a/b/E?
- Renamed without telling svn? (i.e. renamed in Windows explorer, or
with the 'move' command from Windows). In this case, it's normal that
it doesn't work. You shouldn't do that. See also
http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#wc-change-detection.
- Renamed through svn (i.e. 'svn move a/b/e a/b/E')? In this case, it
should work, and 'svn status' should show:
A + a\b\E
D a\b\e
[ Also: this question belongs on the users-mailinglist, and not on
dev@, because it's about the usage of svn (and problems during usage),
rather than it's development. If you want to continue this discussion,
please move it to users@. ]
