Sorry, should have gone to the list: 2008/5/11 Alexandre Vassalotti <alexandre@peadrop.com>:

When I rename a module I use "svn copy", since "svn remove" doesn't pick up changes made to the "deleted" file. For example, here is what I did for PixMapWrapper:

svn copy ./Lib/plat-mac/PixMapWrapper.py ./Lib/plat-mac/pixmapwrapper.py edit ./Lib/plat-mac/PixMapWrapper.py svn commit

That seems a very odd usage. You're renaming, not copying. Why aren't you using svn rename (svn move)? I can well imagine this causing serious confusion. Please be very careful here - if you introduce revisions which contain multiple files with names that differ only in case, you're going to really mess up history (and probably the only clean way to fix this will be to actually go back and edit the history).
