## Moving Items

To move and/or rename an item in working copy or repository use the Move option ( Modify->Move ... (Alt+V) ). The selected item is duplicated in the destination and then deleted from the source location. Items can be moved from working copy-to- working copy or from repository-to-repository. When moving between local copies the file schedule for addition (with history), in the new location. When copying between remote repositories a complete server-side rename is done. The `Move` dialog provides the following fields:

Source

  The item path to be copied and then deleted. The path may be a local path remote URL.

Destination

  The path to where the source will be copied. The path may only specify a local path when the source is from a local path. The path may only specify a URL when the source is from a URL.

Revision

  Select the radio button and enter a value equal to a revision number. `KEYWORDS` are supported:

  HEAD

    The latest revision in the repository.

  BASE

    The "pristine" revision of an item in a working copy.

  COMMITTED

    The last revision in which an item changed before (or at) BASE.

  PREV

    The revision just before the last revision in which an item changed. (Technically, COMMITTED - 1.)
