Directories, renames, and file meta-data

Directories, renames, and file meta-data are versioned. CVS looses certain information like file execute permissions. Renames are done in CVS by:
mv oldfilename newfilename
cvs delete oldfilename
cvs add newfilename
Subversion directly support renames. In addition, Subversion will allow you to attach any ``extra'' (meta) data to a file.
