Renaming Repository Items

Rename items in a repository using one of the following methods:

  1. Select the item to rename and then single-click the item to start editing the name
  2. Select the item to rename and press the Return (⏎) key.
  3. Confirm the pressing the Return (⏎) key or clicking on another item in the browser.
  4. You can cancel the rename at any time by pressing the Escape (⎋) key.

Subversion implements a rename as a move operation. As a result, the rename will be visible in the item’s log as a combination of delete and addition operations.
