File renaming/moving still doesn't work properly though: http://blogs.open.collab.net/svn/2008/07/subversion-merg.html There are limits to what you can do without tracking the original changesets. A DVCS does that, but SVN works by calculating diffs between different revisions without really caring about how those revisions came about.
