Rename multiple files in repository

Hi all,

I have to rename a few dozen files from upper to lower case.
Obviously this is not so straight forward on Windows, so I would
prefer doing this directly in the repository. However, as far as I can
see that works for one file at a time only, resulting in as many
commits. Is that so or is there some way to have it all in one?

I thought about a Knoppix live CD, but even if it had SCN loaded
and were able to connect to the repository and check out a WC
this still would be on an NTFS filesystem. I have no full meal Linux
setup available and no spare partition I could feed Knoppix with.

Another attempt was to check out to a Linkstation (NAS) which
runs some embedded Linux and reportedly ext2 filesystem served
through Samba, but both SVN and TSVN failed by renaming "a file
onto itself". Obviously the Windows peculiarity prevails here over
the *nix peculiarity. The Linkstation is not hacked, thus no shell or
telnet access as far as I know about.

TIA for any suggestion.

Jan Hendrik
