That wasn't the point I was making. I was saying that git is not the 
right choice for me because I do a lot of work in Java and a lot of 
refactoring. I don't think git's way of doing things is bad - it just 
doesn't fit into my workflow and the kind of things I do. I feel more in 
control with Bazaar because I can explicitly tell it what moved where 
and this is not determined by some algorithm. With the Eclipse plugin 
Eclipse will automatically tell Bazaar that I renamed something when I 
refactor which is exactly what I need.
