Hi all,

If I rename a file and create a patch in SVN, it shows that old file is deleted 
and a new file is created with same content.

In the created patch there is no hint that original file is just renamed.

If the patch is directly applied and committed then all the checkin history for 
the original file will be lost.

So, the question to committers is ,
Whether such kind of renames handled explicitly though svn rename command 
before committing to retain the history?
Or any workaround is there to generate patch to include rename information. ?

Regards,
   Vinayakumar B.,
