[Zope-dev] Please use 'svn mv'

I would like to remind everyone that when you do refactorings and move 
code around, to please use 'svn mv' or 'svn cp'. For instance, when you 
split a large file into two smaller ones, use 'svn cp' to create the 
second file and then remove stuff from it that doesn't go there. That 
way, version history isn't lost for neither parts of the code. The same 
goes for splitting up packages (moving components into a library 
package, for instance).

Thanks.
