I hesitate to mention this because I am not trying to open Pandora's box but post CVS version control systems almost all preserve history across file renames. I have not heard any mention and don't want to stir up trouble but if there is any inclination to move off of CVS at any point in the future then renames after that time would preserve the full history. That would be a good argument for keeping the current names until that time and doing any scheduled renames in the new system.
Stepan Kasal is (at least was) keen, and I am keen, to switch to Subversion after we have got a large number of the long-standing bugs fixed and released.
