That explains it. See, ViewCVS knows that it can't (yet) handle diffs
across copy history, so I have it effectively running log with
--strict. That's why you only see the two revs in ViewCVS.

The fact that 9 revisions occurred after the rename but only 2 are
displayed *is* interesting to me. If your repos isn't gargantuan, I'd
like to have a glance at it to see if I can figure out why this is
happening.
