And the file-rename violated the fundamental rule of version-control - it allows a bog-standard user to render it impossible to check out the project as of some previous date.
I discovered one of these yesterday in P4. Someone wanted to check in a file with execute permission. They didn't read clearly, and also added the +S attribute. This causes P4 to only store the head revision. I don't get the impression the P4 developers really even thought this through when the implemented it. Now, trying to check out old versions spews out internal RCS error messages about corrupt revisions and stuff like that.
