Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method of managing renamed files in a configuration management environment, comprising the steps of: installing a plug-in to modify a source control tool of the configuration management environment to include a renaming utility, wherein the source control tool did not provide tracking of version history for files that have been renamed prior to installing the pug-in; extracting a first file that has been renamed from the source control tool of the configuration management environment using the renaming utility; matching the first file to a second file using the renaming utility, wherein the second file is a previous version of the first file having a different name, wherein the different name does not follow a versioning feature of the source control tool for the first file, wherein a version tracking history does not exist between the first file that has been renamed and the previous version of the first file, and wherein both the first file and the second file exist in the source control tool.
