When I try to rename a folder to .svn or a file to .myemacs, for example, a popup says:

You must specify a file name.

Do you have a workaround ?

Open cmd

Start -> Run -> "cmd"

Good solution indeed. I could have thought about that, I even have cygwin installed so I could do it with mv command. But I am interested if there is a less geeky way – pinouchon Oct 14 '11 at 23:34

Wait, what's wrong with the geeky way? – surfasb Oct 15 '11 at 0:49
SVN, Emacs and Cygwin aren't geeky? – techie007 Oct 15 '11 at 2:25
