I'm submitting this here after the Tortoise people suggested it was a
Subversion change rather than a Tortoise change:
I often work with development environments that support file
manipulation inside some kind of Project View, including renaming and
moving files. Some IDEs also provide "refactoring", where I can rename
a Java class or change its package, and the IDE handles the file
renames behind the scenes.
Unfortunately this makes working with SVN rather difficult. In
order to maintain history across the rename/move, I have to either
rename using the SVN function by going outside of my IDE, or
manually reverse the IDE's rename and re-do it myself using SVN.
It would be a huge help to the way I develop (frequently refactoring a
large Java codebase using Netbeans refactoring tools) if I could pick
(1) a missing file and (2) a new file, and then say "these files have
been renamed". SVN would locally mark the new file (2) as an "Add with
history"
from the missing file (1), and then mark the missing file (1) for
deletion, i.e. "renaming after the
event".
