I've very sorry that the file history report does not structure the
information as you would prefer.

All of the information needed to track file changes across renames is
contained in the repository.  And, in fact, the "annotate" screens do trace
changes across renames.  But nobody has yet taken the time to write a
report screen that displays a file history graph across renames.  Perhaps
because nobody cares as passionately about this as you seem to.  The Fossil
source code is open-source; you could contribute a solution if you wanted
to.
