Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any such plans.
I haven't had to use this technique myself yet, but it sounds like
something you'd only have to do right after you check out a working
copy, which is not something you're supposed to have to do that
often, hence it's not supposed to be so inconvenient to manually
rename a few files before getting to work. Are you creating new
working copies very often? If so, why? Or are there a very large
number of files that are having to be renamed in this way?
