I don't see the option to rename in TortoiseSVN?

But how do I fix this in the past? In my case the 'error' occurred at
revision X and we're now at Y. I can't access the files around revision
X as I get the error, and I can't access both files at Y. Even if I
could access them both now, deleting one of them at Y+ wouldn't fix the
problems I have at accessing them at X?
