Just as a sidenote: Its possible to "mercurify" filesystem only renames with "hg addremove". While it relies on heuristics, it helps in those "Ooops, I already moved it with $SOMETOOL"-situations. It was even able to detect most of the moves of files between milestones on a filesystem basis when I used a local mercurial repo over my svn cws (before the pilot).
