Actually Shepherd worked as designed there. Shepherd tracks each asset by name, so if a file's name changes it's considered a new asset. It does understand that the same asset may be represented by multiple files (as commonly happens with support files, and sometimes with references and tests as they're being worked on) and it tracks each file independently, but they're all considered the same asset. 

I do have some improvements on how Shepherd handles file renames on my to do list (it's all still a work in progress). When comments are entered they are logged against a specific revision of a specific file, so I can have the comments follow the file in the case of renames.
