Note that tla-cvs-sync actually does _attempt_ to track renames, by
looking at the contents of added and deleted files (the best match with
under 10% of the text changed is considered a rename).  This usually
works correctly on my trees, but I suppose linux is pretty wild and
wooly sometimes...

Directly slurping the BK info of course seems a better approach though!
