Well, you only get a fix for partial commits if you start keeping track 
of moves. Which arch is unlikely to do. Actually Miles solution for 
partial commits is likely to be better, provided you have the inventory 
file that exists in a revision library.

Basically what Miles said is that when you do a partial commit, if 
something looks like an add or delete, you check it's id. If that id 
existed in the revision, you check and see what file it was associated 
with, and include that in the limits.

That solves the problem without ever having to worry about keeping track 
of explicit rename/add/delete actions.

I'm not sure how you could do a delete with a partial commit, probably 
just specify the old filename.

If you don't like tagline, that's fine. Do remember that tagline allows 
you to also specify explicit ids (since you might have binary files in 
there). For me, it's pretty easy to remember what files are what. 
Everything that can be is tagline, binary, visual studio project files, 
etc, are not. I rarely need to rename these. More often is just creating 
and deleting them.
