If the rename isn't committed the server never sees it - there will be a CVS/Renames file on the client. If it is committed it's stored in .directory_history,v (which you can just delete if you don't want to keep any renames in that directory). 2.5.x Rename can be a bit fiddly... sometimes takes a couple of updates etc. to get right, but it does work (I've imported a *lot* of rename data into 2.6.x and it was all correct.. it's just the 2.5 client doesn't use it correctly :P) Tony
