Nope, not about subversion, so nobody get all upset.

My question is a bit more general:  
when refactoring in ruby-eclipse, how can you get it to rename a  
variable in all classes, modules etc? I’m guessing there should be an  
easy enough way to do this… or am I being to demanding on it as an  
IDE (specially considering ruby is rather new functionality for it)?
