Hi,

I'm not sure if there is a proper "procedure" for this.  Insights would be 
appreciated.

I have renamed some files in a branch using cvs rename and committed them 
properly (commit the directory) as per the documentation.  Everythign works 
great as long as I remain within the branch.  However, when I try to merge 
the branch back into the trunk, the renamed files aren't merging.  I had 
been expecting the renamed files to replace the trunk files, but that 
doesn't seem to be the case.

Is there a proper procedure to accomplish this?  Or is my only solution to 
either a) rename files in repository, or b) delete/add the newly named 
files?

Thanks,

Eric
