Hi there, This is a bit of a silly question, but I'd be interested in comments!... In short, does anyone find that the CVS source-control system is a bit of an obstacle to renaming classes, when your filenames mirror class names? For my team, this is a real pain becuase we like to revist our naming of classes often, but then there's the whole drag of having to remove/re-add the correcsponding file to CVS!!! Ideally some CVS tool would detect our renaming antics and update the repository accordingly.
Meta-CVS supports true renaming, with preservation of history and
merging across renames.
It has a command that can detect external renaming antics, within
certain limitations. That is, if you rename or move files without
using the proper ``mcvs mv'' command, then ``mcvs remap'' will scan
your sandbox and hunt down the moved files by inode number and correct
the map. You then just commit to get the moves into the repository.
