Searching http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/CHANGES tells me it's
been fixed in 1.1. Thanks for pointing this out.
The rest of your questions belong on users@, but since I'm answering

implemented as Copy+Delete, meaning that the implementation won't be
able to tell the difference between a genuine copy and a rename.
