What I want from a version system is to capture event in history not like changes as a files but as events that capture a process.

If I split a file in two I still want to be able to see blame correctly for the author of the function, not one file as freshly created and the other with a bunch of deletes. I wish commits could be folded into larger commits so that you can still capture the individual changes but also not see them by default when looking at the history of a file.

Just a more human centric perspective on change history where it captures the way we talk and think about changes.
