The cache doesn't lock the folders, it simply has a handle open (with
full shared rights) to monitor those folders. What the 1.4.x version did
on the drive root, the cache now does on the working copy root.

You should be able to rename and even delete the folder. If you can't,
then something is wrong. The cache should never have a handle open with
non-shared rights.
Unless of course you try to rename the folders more than once. Windows
then has some problems with the shared rights...
