commit renamed file to svn repository

Question

I had committed a single java source file (A.java) into a svn repository(local->remote) then later I renamed it as B.java (local). Now I see blue arrow pointing to left direction appears on the B.java in Package Explorer. Some said that blue arrow means "a versioned file that needs to be added to the remote repository. These are typically files you have either renamed or moved to a different directory.".

What should I do in order to safely commit the B.java file?

I use subclipse in eclipse helios IDE to check in/out files to/from svn repository.

I believe that you did not do an svn rename at first.

If svn is integrated with eclipse you should have the right click subversion options. First do an revert on that file to get back the version from the repository which is A.java.

Then right click and do an svn renmae, which then rename it to B.java Then right click to the file and do and svn commit.

This should do the trick.
