Actually, this is one of the 'old' ways; the other is remove old/add new.
The disadvantage of renaming in the repo is that checkouts with tags before
the rename still get the new file name, which may break a build. (If you
renamed a file that is referenced in other files by name, for example a .c
file that's referenced in a makefile, a .h file that's included in a .c
file, etc.)
