Yeah, it worked :) Thanks! I expected something more obscure. In fact I
didn't expect it to be possible from the client side. Now the only
drawback is that the timestamp on the renamed directory changed, but
that's a minor annoyance we should be able to live with.

Then this is considered an external link by trac, which adds a special
icon in front of it. I linked to trac to avoid that.

I guessed so, but trac could be seen as a client.
