Is changing file names dangerous hobby in svn?

I do tons of DHTML application development with as much as 80% of my 
application code in JavaScript. With this type of development, appending 
a date stamp to the file name when changed is the best way to have the 
JS decached on the clients machine.

I would like to know if renaming is a dangerous thing to do excessively 
in svn.

 From looking at the core design structure in svn, with the exception of 
the current delete/create ugliness, it should be able to cleanly support 
renaming of source files.

Thanks,

Tim

Changing file names and directories is a sort of free for all. Do 
whatever you like.. :)

BUT, when you rename "entity_name" to "entity_name_old" and then rename 
"other_entity_name" to "entity_name" in the repository (with the repo 
browser from svn tortoise for instance) be sure to do an update inbetwee 
individual renames. Else your local svn client might get a little confused.

I had that this evening... (sort a came up because I wasn't paying 
attention when initially creating the dirs)
