The navigation structure of a web site is not tightly tied to
the file structure.  Discouraging file moves/renames is not
such a terrible thing for a web site.  For example, see

At worst, redirects should be added for them. This is one thing
which has slowed down a few reforms while testing MultiViews
and so on. That in itself is a question for version control:
is translation between formats a copy, a move with changes or
simply a translation that none of the version control systems
mentioned can track accurately yet?
