bk mv(7.3.3)		    BitKeeper User's Manual		  bk mv(7.3.3)

NAME
       bk mv - rename file[s]

SYNOPSIS
       bk mv [-f] source-file-or-dir [file ...]  dest-file-or-dir

DESCRIPTION
       To rename a file/directory from A to B do this:

	   $ bk mv A B

       The  bk mv command will rename the checked out file (if any) as well as
       the revision control file.  Edited files are also renamed and then  re-
       edited, preserving any changes made but not yet checked in.  The rename
       will  appear  as  an  additional change to the file when you commit the
       next changeset.

       Renames propagate just like content changes, i.e., they happen automat-
       ically when you pull changes into your repository from another  reposi-
       tory unless you have also renamed the file.  In that case, the resolver
       will prompt you to choose a name.

       If  the	last argument is an existing directory, bk mv moves all listed
       files into that directory.  Otherwise, if only two files are given,  it
       renames the first as the second.  It is an error if more than two files
       are  listed  and  the  last argument is not a directory.  The intent is
       that bk mv behaves like the traditional UNIX mv command, except that it
       knows about the additional  BitKeeper  files  and  records  the	rename
       event.

NOTES
       bk  mv  will  refuse  to move BitKeeper metafiles without the -f option
       (use of which is not recommended).

       If both the A and B arguments are directories, bk  mv  will  check  the
       repository  consistency.   If  this check fails the move operation will
       not continue.
