That was the idea.

I was definitely thinking with my git and svn brain here. svn allegedly
tracked renames but never actually seemed to provide any usefulness in
my experience (so if fossil worked the same way, losing the rename info
wouldn't ultimately matter). git tracks content more than filenames, so
in git you really wouldn't lose anything by doing it that way.

I haven't tested fossil features wrt renames.
