Hi, I wasn't aware of the *svnmucc* command, so that's something new to learn. Thanks.
An alternative solution, with the same approach, is to use the *svn move* command. The command that worked for me was as follows: svn move -m "Rename file to filename that is valid on Windows" https://server.example.com/svn/repo/path/\ https://server.example.com/svn/repo/path/newname.txt Hope this helps.
