Renaming multiple files

Hi,

I've been banging around all of the local haunts for help with this project,
and all of that has led me here. I'm hoping that you won't mind helping
out.

I have a TortiseSVN repository with thousands of files, and we want to
change the file naming convention and update all of the existing files using
the new naming convention. This would be far too much work to do through
the GUI, so I'm looking at doing the work from the command line.

I've tried many combinations of argument formats for the SVN RENAME command,
but all return some error or another. Here are some examples:

C:\work-temp>svn rename
http://RepoServer/trunk/dynamics/Codeunit/Codeunit3G_L Account-Indent.txt
http://RepoServer/trunk/dynamics/AllObj/C0000000003.txt

svn: E200007: Cannot mix repository and working copy sources

C:\work-temp>svn rename
"http://RepoServer/trunk/dynamics/codeunit/Codeunit3G_L Account-Indent.txt"
"http://RepoServer/trunk/dynamics/allobj/C0000000003.txt"

svn: E160013:
'RepoServer/!svn/bc/12369/trunk/dynamics/codeunit/Codeunit3G_L%20Account-Ind
ent.txt' path not found

C:\work-temp>svn rename "c:\objects\dynamics\codeunit\Codeunit3G_L
Account-Indent.txt" "c:\objects\dynamics\allobj\C0000000003.txt"

svn: E155007: 'C:\objects\dynamics\codeunit\Codeunit3G_L Account-Indent.txt'
is not a working copy

I'm starting to look at the tortoiseproc /command:rename option for a
command line, but don't find any information about the target filename
argument. I see the /path: argument, but don't see any way to specify the
target file name.

If you can point me toward any resources that might help shed light on the
project, I'd be really appreciative.

Kind regards,

George Love
