Workflow Question. Renaming Folders in the Editor when using an SVN

I am not sure if this is the right part of the forum for this question.
But didn’t seem to find a more appropriate place.

I am using Perforce on a windows machine.
When I rename or folders in my editor, it does not rename them in my local file system or on perforce.
I read this thread explaining why:

but I was concerned that things could get confusing when renaming, adding, moving deleting folders.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a workflow procedure with renaming folders and perforce or other SVN?
