The Rename Dialog

The Rename command changes the pathname at which an element is accessed. You can use this command to perform a simple renaming, to move an element to another directory, or both. You cannot move an element to another depot.

Invoking the Rename Command

Select an element in the Details pane of the File Browser. Then, click the button in the Details pane toolbar, or choose Rename from the selection's context menu.

Using the Rename Dialog

Type a new pathname for the element:

(You cannot type a depot-relative pathname A pathname that begins with /./ (UNIX) or \.\ (Windows), indicating the path from the top-level directory of a depot to a particular element..)

In either case, a single move transaction A record in the AccuRev repository database that indicates a particular change: promoting of a set of versions, changing the name of a stream, modification to an issue record, etc. Each transaction has an integer transaction number, which is unique within the depot. records the changing of the element's pathname in your workspace.
