When you rename a registered file, you must also rename its master
file correspondingly to get proper results. Use vc-rename-file
to rename the source file as you specify, and rename its master file
accordingly. It also updates any snapshots (see section Snapshots) that
mention the file, so that they use the new name; despite this, the
snapshot thus modified may not completely work (see section Snapshot Caveats).
You cannot use vc-rename-file on a file that is locked by
someone else.
Go to the first, previous, next, last section, table of contents.
