The logs and diffs. Since I'm not Andreas, I guess I can't leave it at that. If before for splitting ChangeLog, bzr log ChangeLog shows N revisions, after either of the procedures shown, one of ChangeLog and ChangeLog.11 has 1 revision, and the other has N+1. bzr diff does nothing useful with the newly added file. With a hypothetical bzr cp, both would have N+1, and bzr diff would work on both. This isn't terribly useful for ChangeLogs whose entries are (almost) immutable, of course, but it is very useful in cases where a source file containing multiple functions is refactored into two files. I could have sworn bzr had this feature, but maybe I'm thinking of Mercurial (which definitely has it).
