The situation happens when the files / dirs are spread under separate branches, for example when viewing recording and it creates resume file on different branch. Maybe that could avoided with creating policies?

For a workaround, I made a simple reccmds script to rename the dir with mv command.

It handles the situation where same dir exists in both branches by doing copyup. Maybe some checking should be added that dir really exists.

#!/bin/bash

echo Renaming $1

mv $1 ${1%.rec}.del

echo touch .update

touch /video/.update

echo done
