1. f finfo can’t trace file history back through a rename. The web version of this (f ui > Files > Ancestry) does manage to report the rename, but it doesn’t trace history back through that link to the old name. Why would I want file history to cut off just because I renamed it? 2. If you attempt to merge a change between branches where one of the changed files was renamed after the branch point, Fossil will *silently* drop all changes to that file. Then it will lie to you, telling you the merge was successful! If the resulting partial merge compiles and runs, you might not immediately notice that you didn’t get 100% of the feature/fix. (This happened to me just a week or two ago!)
I think I also ran into both of these problems and the second one, obviously, is really bad (and the first one bad enough: it's presence heavily discourages one (at least me...) from doing otherwise desirable tidyups...). I do hope there is a chance to see this fixed in future versions (considering there are users able to recognize a problem but not to fix it ;-))
