I tried to look at the changesets since 2.6.9 and only a few renames
were actually shown as renames by linux.bkbits.net. The rest showed up
as big deletes + big adds. It is also possible that the rename is
actually shown by the bk tool but not on bkbits.net. This would leave
us with only the option of detecting renames the way tla-cvs-sync
does. I will have a look at this.
