The problem with that idea is that it makes an assumption about what has
happened outside SVN.
What if I a file named "HelloHenry.txt" file checked out, then I delete
it using Windows explorer (because I decide I don't need it anymore),
and then I create a new, completely unrelated file called
"HellOhenry.txt". The first file was talking to a guy named "Henry",
the 2nd file was complaining about a chocolate bar. With your rules,
TSVN would assume I had re-named the file and show it that way.
Making TSVN start trying to guess what you have done outside of SVN
control gets tricky and dangerous, especially when there are scenarios
when it guesses wrong.
