While I agree this would be very nice to support, this would be
expensive (in terms of performance) to determine, as the path:revision
that is deleted is not necessarily the one that is copied from (just
from looking at log) and we'd have to work a lot harder to find the
correct file ids. Ideally Bazaar should just support path tokens,
that'll make this a lot easier and should kill two birds with one stone
(copies *and* renames).

FWIW renames pushed using Bazaar will already work, just not copy+delete
done from Subversion itself.
