I haven't time to dig up archive hits for as much, but there've been several
times when copy-to information (which naturally is 1-to-many) would have
been really useful. For one, you can easily tell Subversion not to allow
someone to commit only the "delete" half of a move operation. Secondly, it
helps with tree conflict detection and resolution. It also helps when
updating a working copy that needs to apply textdeltas to files that have
been rearranged.

I think this one falls squarely under Things We Wish We'd Done Better The
First Time Around.
