I’m using subversion and Visual Studio 2008 (and Tortoise)
I’ve got a number of folders in visual studio projects that I want to rename.
Whenever I’ve tried this in the past I’ve ended up with conflicts and had to create my new folder, copy all the existing content in to it, check it in and delete the old folder.
Has anyone come across a more straightforward way to do this, or have a set reliable process for renaming folders in Visual studio and Subversion?
thanks in advance,
Chris.
TortoiseSVN has a feature to help with moves and renames performed outside SVN, after the fact.
Rename the folder as you would normally. Then right-click the root folder and select TortoiseSVN -> Check for modifications. In that list you’ll see “oldfoldername missing” and “newfoldername unversioned”. Ctrl-click on both of them, then right-click and select “repair move”.
This way, you can rename folders and files with the benefit of VS’s refactoring tools, but without messing up SVN.
