There is a difference. If you rename a project within the repository
then you need to use TSVN->rename from your working copy, or you can
rename it using the repository browser and then TSVN->switch to the
new name in your working copy.

TSVN->rename is used when the repository itself changes location, i.e.
the path *to* the repository as opposed to a path *within* the
repository.
