Rename Resources

The Rename action is available in the contextual menu of the Working Copy view and can be performed on a single resource. This action acts as a move command with the destination directory being the same as the original location of the resource. A copy of the original item is created with the new name, also keeping its history. The original item is marked as deleted.

Note

External items cannot be renamed using the Rename action because they cannot be deleted. Instead, you should edit the svn:externals property defining the external item, then use the Update operation on the item's parent folder for the change to take effect.

Attention

For SVN 1.8 working copies: when committing items that were moved and/or renamed, make sure you select both the source and the destination. Otherwise, the commit operation will fail.
