RE: Re: Best practices question: IDE renames directories/files

If your IDE does not have SVN integration, then I'd suggest you use the IDE first, save your project, close the IDE, undo the operations manually, and redo them using SVN. It's still probably easier than manually editing the project file (which some developers are averse to doing).

BTW, in Windows, the 1.50 version of TortoiseSVN will include a "Repair Move" feature as described in http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-rename.html . This should make for very ease after-the-fact handling of moves and renames. I don't know if any other Subversion clients have, or will add, a similar feature.

Do not rename things in the IDE. Rename them with SVN commands.

Or, use an IDE that has SVN integration, and use that to rename things.
