Thats an interesting question too, but I'm talking about the other
direction. Suppose I wanted to contribute a fix to a Subversion bug, and the
fix involved directory and file renames. I can perform these renames in my
WC, but svn diff doesn't capture them so I can't submit this patch. Of
course I can imagine ways to deal with this--I can have the project
maintainers do the renames themselves or I can provide a shell script to do
the renames. I'm just asking if there's a commonly accepted practice or
perhaps another tool that I should be using. I guess another way you could
look at it is that I want to merge my changes into someone else's WC rather
than into the repository.
