I assume here that you mean a vanilla rename, a change in path only rather
than path + content.  For Java development that never happens (well tending
towards never) - renaming or repackaging a class changes the content and
the location of the file.

For Subversion that's a copy+modify and a delete (IE not really a rename
but at least it's not duplicating data).  Git, I thought, just adds the new
file and removes the old - deduplication only occurs if the content is
unmodified (same hash).  Does bazaar avoid the duplication in a non-trivial
move - these are very common in our projects where we regularly refactor?
