Like Andy, I'm sure I've read that file names are what gets
tracked - and wasn't even aware anyone had worked on a
directory rename function ... At times when a project
grows, I do tend to create new subproject directories and
move existing files to those directories - and a directory
rename function in fossil which was basically a wrapper
around file renames would certainly make those operations
easier.
I've always just used this method:
for F in file1 file2 file3 ; do
move="mv dir1/${F} dir2/${F}"
$move && fossil $move
done
Looping around output from 'find' can be used for larger
numbers of files or those in several subdirectories.
When I'm working on one of my own boxes that get my own
environment setup, I use a shell function called "fmv"
which does this for me.
The end result appears to be what OP is looking for,
though of course the hard work is performed in the shell.
