I'm using the CLI, and I need to detect if any of the files in the changeset I'm about to resume have been renamed (specifically if the capitalization in the filename has been renamed).  How can I detect file renames?

hi Lauren,
Can you provide the current command you are using to resume? Also do you want to see if the changeset has the changes before resuming it? Or it is ok during resume?

The command I use is
lscm resume changeset  [changesetId] -t [workspaceId] -r [repoUrl] --overwrite-uncommitted

At any point in the resume process is fine.

You can try using --json with scm status before resuming, and look for
                                        "move": true,
string.  If it is found, you can further examine the string to check for the case change:
                                    "new-path": "\/Xyz.txt",
                                    "path": "\/xyz.txt",
(this is of course assuming that the file was renamed using scm move.  Otherwise, you'd look for the file deletion and addition).
