I just realized that a plugin I enjoy using, vim-eunuch, does allow the
history to be saved when you move or rename files. It defines a handful
of ex commands for Unix-like file operations; the ones I'm talking about
are of the form

:Rename newname

and

:Move newfolder

(you run those while you have the file open and it moves it in place).
