That was my thought too. I moved to Git recently, but it wasn't that long ago that I was rejoicing over how awesome SVN was, simply because I could rename things (files! directories!) easily and still reasonably track history. Hmm, was it SCCS or RCS that allowed you to "lock" files and then go away for the weekend, effectively shutting out the rest of your team?
