That's pretty much what I would do, until "true renames" are
implemented. I'd probably tell my coworkers to make sure to commit
their changes by the time they leave on Friday and do the move over
the weekend, and remind the team to update before starting work on
Monday. If your team works on weekends too or doesn't have defined
work times, then you'll have to coordinate it some other way.
