And not only do you lose the ability to get a file's entire version
history with a single "cvs log", you also have added to a file's revision
history all of the unwanted stuff from a previous incarnation that was
renamed away.

Defending the ambiguity of the histories of logically different files that
happen to share a path at one time or another, and the fragmentation of
a file's entire version history is nonsensical.
