An example: I threw something together quick (not well - quick) for the
other network guys so they could copy/paste output. If I weren't so
lazy/busy, I would make it run the commands it's self, set a path at the
top, yada yada. Change paths & it work 4 U.
$ cat stupid_change.py
#!/usr/bin/python
# Just tell me how to change it!
# not written well, just written in 15 minutes
# could probably be done in bash

Subject: [rancid] Renaming devices? (svn backend)
Hi Folks,
I'm just about to implement a new naming scheme for all our network gear,
and I'd like to rename it in such a way that I don't lose the history in
RANCID. I found a couple of messages in the list archive for the way to do
this with a CVS backend, but I have Subversion. Does anyone know the
svn-fu necessary to do this cleanly?
Thanks,
Howard
