How to rename version controlled files?

I store my Obsidian files in an SVN repository.

When I now rename a file in O, all references are updated, but SVN is missing the old file and sees a new one.

When I rename the file via SVN, the history is kept, but O doesn’t update any references.

What’s the best way to rename version controlled files?

I use git and what I’ve seen is that a rename = old file deletion + new file creation there as well. Don’t know about svn.
Maybe you could provide an alias with the note which reminds you of what the old name was.
