Bah!
1) Never rename source files: breaks patches without good reason. 
2) Don't use capitals in file names: useless use of keypresses.
3) Use "svn mv"
4) Goto 1

If anything, merge the split step with the rename, i.e. move functions 
from the old big files into new small files named to your liking.

The hoops you are trying to jump through to make patches work should 
make it pretty obvious that this renaming is not a clever idea.

Just IMO :)  zypper is mostly your child, so in the end what really 
matters is your preference, in that case please at least do (3)  ;-)


Ciao,
Michael.
