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)
