Bug description:
  An issue we are facing at the moment is that ppl lose track of there files in a timeline if the file was moved around or renamed. I would propose using taskview or patch nautilus to actually grab those events and either:
  1) Modify the uris in the uris table
  2) Create a new table with    | new_id | old_uri_id | event | to map uris to their actual ids and the event that allowed the change, this would allow us to track a history of renaming or moving a file. It will look a bit like the following:

  9 | 9 | 48124  # CREATE EVENT
  12 | 9 | 48126 # MOVE EVENT

  In other words the last row means uri 12 was moved from uri 9 with
  event 48126

  UPDATE:

  3) Create a changable_uri table that is a map of the uri table. it gets updated upon moved and rename.
  We then add new resulttype that allow you to ask for either pureSubject or adaptedSubject. depending on which one is chosen we then use the according table in the join of the find_events_query :)
