splitting files and splitting hairs

[Lalo Martins]

One common use case I find when refactoring is to split one file into a
few.  The only RCS I ever used that supports that is Subversion (svn cp
foo.py bar.py; gnuclient foo.py bar.py); but that's far from being my
favorite RCS ;-)

Any ideas how bzr could do that?  Off the top of my head (15-second
design), I'd store a new field "descends_from" in the inventory (with
the file_id of the "parent" file).

best,
                                               Lalo Martins

       then they seem improbable, and then, when we
       summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
