Ah, ok. That is a great example why I think a first class renaming  
operation is so important for a VCS - instead of just removing and  
adding. Good names are so important that nothing should stand in the  
way of improving them. We talked about that in Toronto IIRC. Of course  
I know this is a very difficult feature to implement. Is there any  
chance MC2 will support it?

Maybe it would be an improvement to rename OB-Umbrella to  
OmniBrowserFull or OmniBrowserDevelopment, assuming that there are not  
many branches of OB-Umbrella to be merged?

Hey, no need to feel sorry! I am always finding hair in a soup. ;-)  
Thanks for all your effort and for the release!!!
