I’ve recorded a few videos giving an overview of the VersionInsight capabilities in RAD Studio XE (Delphi XE and C++Builder XE, to be specific).
Part 3 covers VersionInsight’s ability to track when you rename a file in the IDE, and ensure that the version control repository recognises that as a rename, and not a new file. This is important in order to maintain file history before and after a rename.
This is part 3 of a 4 part series on VersionInsight:
- Part 1 – Overview
- Part 2 – checking out of an existing repository
- Part 3 – Rename support (this video)
- Part 4 – Blame\Annotations
The video is available in a few places and formats:
- YouTube
- iTunes
- Download in mp4 format
- Download in m4v format (sized for iPhone)

That’s some handy stuff.
I used to rename in Delphi so that Delphi knows about the new name, then go to my file manager, rename the file back to the old, and then use subversion to rename the file to the new name.
After that both Delphi and subversion would know about the rename.
This is a lot better!
Thank you for the video but I don’t have any \Rename\ entry in my subversion menu !
I’m using a localised Rad Studio XE upd1 version (french).
I did try the community version and Rename submenu was also missing !
I need new glasses 🙂
Rename is on the right place, outside the subversion menu (makes more sense).
