Description azizur 2012-12-06 15:57:39 UTC

When changing file name letter case from UPPERCASE to lowercase. It does not work very well with SVN.

A possible solution is:

1. Navigate  to a directory where the file is.
2. Issue:

svn rename ./oldFileName.file ./oldFileName_.file

3. Commit changes. 
4. Do svn renam again, this  time enter file name with desired letter case:

svn rename ./oldFileName_.file ./oldFilename.file

5. Commit changes.

Now given that NetBeans natively support SVN this above steps should be performed when I right click on a file name and rename a file under SVN version control.

At the moment the transaction to rename the file like this are done in single SVN command from IDE. However it keeps on telling me that "oldFileName.file" was Locally Deleted. When in fact svn status on terminal shows its not deleted.

the IDE renames the file without a problem, it is just unable to commit both changes to repository. For that, use commandline.
I will not do it the way you're suggesting because you would have two commits in the repo which is undesirable.

Whats the use of an IDE if it forces me to open up commandline?

Totally agree with you there.

How does other IDE's does this?

one possible solution to "oldFileName.file" was Locally Deleted flag, is to clear the svn cache and its works perfectly.
