BK does come with a tool to make it easy to detect renamed files in
patches and change them into proper renames, and Linus does use  at
least some of the time -- I've submitted a normal patch containing a
renamed file represented as big delete + a big add, and iin the
resulting BK changeset, it showed up as a real rename.  I believe it
works more or less the same way as tla-cvs-sync's rename detection
does, but then the user must confirm the renames it detects.
