Changing file names and directories is a sort of free for all. Do
whatever you like.. :)

BUT, when you rename "entity_name" to "entity_name_old" and then rename
"other_entity_name" to "entity_name" in the repository (with the repo
browser from svn tortoise for instance) be sure to do an update inbetwee
individual renames. Else your local svn client might get a little confused.

I had that this evening... (sort a came up because I wasn't paying
attention when initially creating the dirs)
