If there was an option to filed-out in a directory structure instead of a single file, such as:
category/classname/classdef category/classname/methodcategory/method1 category/classname/methodcategory/method2 etc.
And filed-in in the same manner, wouldn't source control systems be able to handle that better? I know this probably wouldn't work well in CVS (since it doesn't support renames), but with Subversion (successor to CVS), BitKeeper, or a number of more recent CMS systems, it might work better. Or not?
This is/was done by at least one such system (I forget the name, though).
DVS does things very simply: it alphabetizes the names of the methods on output. So it diffs pretty well.
