I think we can achieve both renaming and moving keys if we do this in the tool and not directly in SVN files. The current level of information given by the translations files won't currently allow the tool to detect this from the translations files unless we extend the translation file spec and add some info like that in the files.
I've been thinking we could make the translation tool the master for the main language file also. Keys would have to be added there. In this case we can also rename and move and then have a commit system or have the build system pick up the files directly from there.
