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"
then
move filename.txt .svn

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

Note that if you initially renamed the .svn directory, and are trying to move it back, you might have to uncheck the 'hidden' box on the directory's Properties dialog before this will work. – user11934 Feb 21 '13 at 16:39
