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.
This command takes effect at the next commit. To undo a rename before that, see 'hg revert'.
Returns 0 on success, 1 if errors are encountered.
