Improve support for renaming

[Daniel Migowski]

Hello, 

I am using Eclipse IDE and TortoiseSVN for version control. 

When I rename a class my workflow currently is like this:

* Rename/Move class in Eclipse IDE (so all the references from other files get updated, I cannot do this in SVN, and the class contents get updated with new name/package). 

* Update folder, so the original file gets restored.

* Rename my modified file by appending an underscore in Filesystem, not SVN.

* Do the SVN rename of the original file to the required new name.

* Delete new file in Filesystem, because it has the wrong content

* Remove underscore from target file.

Only now I have a history for the change I did in Eclipse. This is also something I cannot for the love of god hammer into the brains of my beginner collegues.

Could we instead improve the situation drastically by adding in the diff-Window a way to select one item which has the status deleted or missing and another item which has the status new or added and select a "Mark as renamed" functionality? That way also my collegues wouldn't consistently break my file histories.

To the guy who fixes that, thank you very much in advance.

just let Eclipse do the renaming.

Then in the TSVN commit dialog, select both the new file and the old "missing" file, right-click and select "repair move"
