Refactoring isn't just about renaming variables.
It is about rewriting the software in small and distinct steps, so that you every evening have stable code to release. Many companies don't allow software to be released without very significant testing, in which case the micro-step updates may possibly only be release points for regression testing.
But the refactoring includes splitting or merging of functions, redefinitions of data declarations etc, etc, etc. Without having spent any real time with never versions of VC, I'm not sure how many editing rules it supports, besides the search/replace logic.
Per Westermark makes point!
