Ok but you can't expect everything to be integrated with everything
else. That's the Achille's heel of modular platforms like Eclipse:
oftentimes the various modules interact with each other only through
the "core", which may not be sufficient to deliver a good user
experience.

That's great. Does the last mode work like hg, which I've heard
always infers renames and moves? I did not know that bzr could
also do it; is this a recent addition?
