When you move files around in Visual Studio will Ankh SVN turn that into a SVN move?

Question

I would like to move some files around in Visual Studio. But I see Ankh is treating that as new files and delete in the changes list. Is the equivalent to SVN move? I don't want to loose the history for those files.

It should treat a move as a copy and delete. This would be equivalent to the way SVN handles moves. Check to see if it truly thinks it's a new file, or if it thinks it's a copied file. There should be an option when viewing the file's history to view the history as it persists through copies.

This answer is obsolete in newer SVN versions. Copy/move tracking. – usr Sep 22 '14 at 15:40
