I've done some research over the last couple of days for a fairly big

modules and consequently will be forced

GNU-Arch seems promising in some respects. It really can rename files

This doesn't really answer the question of what tool Postgres might
change to, but it seems that Subversion is a good tool one should
consider. And by golly, CVS is bad. Just consider the cons having

Tom,

solution to this problem, and if so what it is. It's not obvious how
to do better.)
I've been working with a few SCM's and IMHO only one of them really
handles this really well. That's ClearCase. I'm well aware that
The intuitive understanding of a file is certainly something like a
file called 'baz.c' residing at 'foo/bar/', which contains the BAZ
subsystem. Now, when renaming/moving a file such an intuitive
understanding is partially lost. UI-wise that's a problem which I
haven't ever seen solved well.

Yes, some do. At least SVN (Subversion) can handle moves very well, and
especially it doesn't loose history on moves/renames.
SVN holds it's repo entries in a database like 'filesystem', which can be
backed by BDB4 or flat files (as of 1.1).
SVN has proven to be

If you physically move the files, that would retroactively change their

AFAICS the only nondestructive way to do this is to cvs delete and cvs
