Doesn't svn blame look through an svn mv? Even if it does not, I agree that this is a disadvantage but not a major one. I use svn blame fairly often to track down the source of changes, and I inevitably have to go through several iterations to get past random changes. The advantage to renaming the files is also a minor one. It's less surprising to newcomers, and we automatically get the right processing from tools like emacs, tags, etc. Ian
