In C, you can separate the actions of changing code
for refactoring purposes and moving/renaming files (ie
you can do it in two checkins).  In Java, assuming you
don't want to break the compile, you can't.

Haven't you encouraged doing moves/renames as a
separate checkin from code changes?  Or have I
misunderstood?
