It's not just 'alt-tabbing to an explorer window', it's:
1) Removing the file from project (either manually from the .pro file or via
the menu which requires dismissing the SVN prompt).
2) Closing any open documents for that file as Creator will not do with for
you (and this is an easy way to get into a mess).
3) Renaming the file in explorer / your SVN client.
4) Re-importing the file (as above).
5) Re-running qmake.

Five laborious steps!

But I'll take a hint and drop the subject!
