A Move/Rename leaves a redirector file behind

[SRombauts]

After a Move/Rename operation, the old asset file is replaced by a "redirector" file of the same name, pointing to the new asset file.

A problem arises if this redirector is not committed immediately with the new asset:

• the old asset is still in source control
• the redirector is not in source control
• the new asset is also in source control there are two identical files checked in the source control system. Thus the operation appears as a copy/duplicate, instead of a rename.

This happens when the new file is directly selected for check-in: only the new file is proposed for check-in (not the redirector itself).

=> Users must select a whole directory or game project to commit all files with an atomic multi-file check-in.

The redirector can (needs to) be deleted by the Fix-up Redirector command in Asset Browser in Editor
