One other use case is when a Milestone Build is attempted the ability to
commit files is temporarily suspended until a successful build is
achieved and labeled. Then committing files is again allowed.

Agreed. I had in mind use case 7 (create new version of Element) as
potentially covering changes in the data (i.e. the file-content), and/or
changes in the metadata (a.k.a. properties, a.k.a. attributes) of the
Element. Metadata could include filename, parent directory, modification
time, owner, permissions, file-type, thumbnail-image, etc. See Concepts,
item 2 (File & Directory concepts).
The part that can get thorny is namespace-handling. Is renaming a
element an
operation on the element itself (as AccuRev does), or on the directory
containing it (as ClearCase does)? Is moving a file to a new directory
an
operation on the element being moved (AccuRev), or on the parent
directories
involved (ClearCase)? What's Subversion's model?
