1. Write a shell script that uses 'svn mv' to rename the original files.
2. Edit files as needed (e.g., to change package names).
3. Create a patch file with 'svn diff --no-diff-deleted --notice-ancestry'.
4. Submit both the shell script and the patch file.

git diff --no-prefix

Testing a patch

You can run the same tools that the automated Jenkins patch test system will run on a patch. This enables you to fix problems with your patch once Jenkins or a committer points them out. The test-patch Ant target will run your patch through the same checks that Jenkins currently does except for executing the core and contrib unit tests.
