Thanks, Kevin. Unfortunately it did not work (and not finding any
documentation the commandline help aside I was foolish enough to
try it on the actual repository instead of setting up a test bed).

mucc 1.4.6 (didn't want even a remote chance with the working
copies not yet updated to 1.5)

server 1.5.1

repository BDB, updated by full dump/load cycle

command:
mucc -m "some message" mv URL1a URL2a | mv URL1b URL2b |
mv ....and so on

Only URL1a was renamed to URL2a, for the rest mucc reported
"No such file or directory" when I had copied the URLs one by one
from the TSVN repos browser to the commandline and
doublechecked before hitting enter.

Any ideas what went wrong?

TIA,

Jan Hendrik
