Tried it, worked fine for all renamed files and directories. Are you
confusing this with CVS, maybe?  I suggest http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
for all people with problems regarding the repository.

What you call inconsistencies was done on purpose. Renaming the LB_
defines used for the coreboot table would break all payloads using that
information out there. That's a no-go.

Like any other open source project, coreboot is a living project that is
being worked on. The fact that changes happen gradually and
incrementally is nothing inconsistent. We did not break any boards with
them either. It seems you are not content with the way we renamed the
project, but your hints are kind of vague. Those that we could read
between the lines were taken into regard (I hope). Please help us get
the rest fixed.

Try following the hints I sent to the list on how to upgrade the tree.
These helped me migrate over a dozen trees in different states with
nearly no conflicts. It's really trivial in most cases.
