That's a point I've not thought of... Hard to say what's better with the current
SCM (CVS).

I think there are patches of at least two different natures: On the one side
some patches fix actual bugs in the upstream package that will hopefully get
fixed in the next upstream version, they are probably rather short-lived and the
history of the patch won't be that interesting (it's created and then dropped
later on). Then there are patches that change policy and have probably a longer
life than the other ones. Here preservation of history would be more worthwhile.

Eventually we'll hopefully move to a more modern SCM (which preserves renaming) ;-).
