Question:
How can I rename a Plastic SCM repository?
Answer:
From the Plastic GUI:
- Click on Repositories & Workspaces
- Right click the repository and select Rename from the context menu
From the command line client:
cm repository rename oldname newname
Please note: When you rename a repository, all workspaces pointing at the repository will need to be recreated.

I followed this instruction but now when I try to "Checking Changes", I get the error:
"the specified repository couldn't be found: <the old name of the project>"
It seems Unity is not compatible with the renaming of the Plastic repository yet!
Unfortunately, workspaces need to be recreated when you rename a repository.
Added this line to the article...

how do i re create workspace pointing...
This discussion has been going on forever. It is 2023, and sadly, the Unity version control (formerly Plastic SCM) still does not properly implement/update the remaining of repositories without recreating workspaces. This should not be happening after so many years.
