I may be a victim of selection bias in that I spend most of my time
working with Java projects, but IMO, this has always been the #1
complaint against Subversion.  Renaming is extremely common in Java
and in large teams this is a nightmare.  I have long maintained that
most of the complaints about merge in Subversion are more about this
issue then about the kinds of issues that we classify as "merge
tracking".

I think the majority of users I work with would greatly appreciate it
if Subversion handled these cases automatically and handled it more
like a text conflict when it could not.
