So? That's all pretty irrelevant.
How often have you had to run two or more commands to look at the
history of a file across a rename? (which is what I asked in the first
place)
I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that you'll only need to do this about
once per renamed file -- i.e. on the very first commit of an actual
change to a renamed file.
I know for a fact that's what happens for me and for everyone I've ever
worked with.
I've only once ever in nearly eight years of using CVS had to retrieve a
revision from a renamed file and then "manually" do a diff against a
revision under the current name. <sarcasm> and oh, my, it was the most
horrifying and difficult and ugly thing I ever had to do with CVS! </sarcasm>
Get a life guys! This should be the least of your worries!
