FYI: Here's some info that may help; if it doesn't help, please ignore it. I know Savannah also supports Subversion (SVN), which handles file renames - though not distributed development. I think git is already up and running on Savannah. These pages certainly leave me with that impression: https://savannah.nongnu.org/maintenance/Git http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/ There's an hg-to-git converter noted here: http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools There's a Savannah page about Mercurial; all it says is "Some people would like to see Mercurial support.": https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/Hg Other stuff here: https://savannah.nongnu.org/maintenance/SavannahArchitecture Git's handling of file renames is rather different than you might expect; read their docs for more on why Linus thinks this is a good idea. You certainly CAN rename files, though, so it's not as limiting as CVS. I suggest that if you use git, do file renames as their own operation (checkout, rename, checkin, keep working); it's not required, but I think it's a good practice. > Oh, and my repository already has a number of file renames in it.

The standard solution seems to be "move to SVN or some other system". --- David A.
