As does Monotone - see

. I don't completely understand the Mercurial repository format, but I 
think that hg does too - at least implicitly, by storing per-file 
revlogs. Git has always resisted giving files True Names; Linus' 
reasoning is that renaming files is just a special case of moving code 
between files (see `git blame`'s -C and -M options).
