It is hard to understand what those words mean. I am compelled to
resort to guessing. But I think the statement is not correct.
I think the term "break" fits only if the name needs to be understood
by a program, In that case, a program looking at the old file name
would not find the file (unless we fix that program).
However, a human can learn about the rename, and then understand what to
do on seeing the old name. For this, "broken" is too strong a word to use.
The change history should record the rename. Then a human who sees a reference
to the old name can search for it and find out that the file was renamed.
