[TSVN] Newbie Question: Rename doesn't remove/rename original file

Hello -

I searched through the archives with little success on this issue.
Here's my issue/question:

When I use the Tortoise's "rename" from the right-click menu in windows
explorer, I get the rename dialog as expected, change the name and I see
the file (with new name) is marked for addition. If I do a commit, it
tells me it is going to add the file - and I can do that.

If someone then checks out a fresh working copy, they get two files -
both the old file and the new file. Huh?

I understand the repository needs to know about the old file, but
wouldn't a Tortoise "rename" do a copy and delete or something to that
effect? I read in the FAQ that Tortoise would do this, but I'm not
seeing the delete option in the commit window - only add. Is this
because I'm interacting with the repository via DAV (and therefore, some
limitation of DAV?)?

Is it necessary to do a manual delete of the original file after a
"rename"? That would mean I'd have to check out a fresh working copy of
the repository since the rename removes the local copy anyway!

I thought this might be a "preference" thing, but I couldn't find
anything about it.

I apologize if this was addressed somewhere and I missed it, but I can't
find any references.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Steve
