Perhaps you've confused CVS with subversion. svn's handilng of renames is not as graceful as git's, but it does work in the common cases. For example, after the aforementioned copy+delete, "svn blame" and "svn log" will still follow history back through the rename. Not sure how I ended up defending subversion on this list. Somehow I've been tricked into being on the losing side of this argument :) I guess I just wanted to balance the viewpoints a little; there are good things to be learned from svn, but not things about branching, merging, or rename tracking.
