Replicating branch renames
When I am working distributed I am often without connection to our issue tracker. This means that I have to use a temporary naming scheme for new branches. When I later sync with the main repository I may not have created the issues in the tracker yet. When I do, I have to rename all branches in all replications which is easily forgotten, thus leaving the different replications with differently named branches.
Obviously this is a mess, so it would be really nice, if Plastic synchronized branch name changes. If there is a rename conflict, I would be fine if the newest name was chosen or better if the user could choose.

Great request but it goes beyond what the replication system does now.
I mean, suppose you rename “main” on your laptop and push back: under what circumstances should the rename be accepted?
