Why do reality always keep knocking down those good ideas? ;) Let's see
if I can kepe it alive for another round.
If other programs rename it we wan't the notification I guess, but if
svn renames it... Hmm, if there's no way to
distinguish between the two (such as asking the svn API if it was svn
mv'ed or not) then I guess the idea is shot
down.
About the second use-case, if I rename a file and then is answering,
Yes, I wan't to also rename it in the repo,
it's decided I did make a bo-bo and would expect the file to be renamed
back and then svn mv'ed to the new name.
If I really did do the right thing I would answer No and nothing would
happen. I'd expect No being the default...
Does it makes any sence?
