Help: rename
hg rename [OPTION]... SOURCE... DEST
aliases: move, mv
rename files; equivalent of copy + remove
Mark dest as copies of sources; mark sources for deletion. If dest is a directory, copies are put in that directory. If dest is a file, there can only be one source.
By default, this command copies the contents of files as they exist in the working directory. If invoked with -A/--after, the operation is recorded, but no copying is performed.
To undo marking a destination file as renamed, use --forget. With that option, all given (positional) arguments are unmarked as renames. The destination file(s) will be left in place (still tracked). The source file(s) will not be restored. Note that 'hg rename --forget' behaves the same way as 'hg copy --forget'.
This command takes effect with the next commit by default.
Returns 0 on success, 1 if errors are encountered.
