I've raised this before (in a thread from May 2003 -- the subject
escapes me):

 % tla inventory -s
   ...
   foo.c
   ...
 % tla mv foo.c bar.c
 % echo "hello" > foo.c
 % tla add foo.c
 % tla commit -s "foo bar quux" -- foo.c

Oops. "Houston, we have a problem..." ;)

I don't think the added complexity necessary for dealing with such
errors is worth it. Just undo, commit (adding the new file), then redo.
