SVN uses "inode numbers" (I think they are just UUID's generated at "svn

I think you got this part confused with GNU Arch (and possibly
Bzr).  SVN tracks renames in the changeset, it records (in the log)
a copy and delete.  pathname@revision is the only "file ID" I know
about in SVN.

Ahh, I was sure the revision files in FSFS were per-file, but coor me 
corrected - they seem to be per-revision.

My bad.
