I've pushed a new rename dialog to my thg-crew-steve repository on bitbucket. It's currently only reachable via 'hgtk guess'. It is a GUI interface to Mercurial's addremove command with a couple of twists:
* The list of renames that hg detects is presented for your review (these are pairs that hg would have declared rename source and destination). From this list you can examine diffs from the source to the destination and if you agree with the matches you 'accept' them. * You can also detect copies. The difference between rename checks and copy checks are the scope. Rename checks only compare missing (deleted) files against unknown files.. the kind of situation you get when you mv a revisioned file. When detecting copies, it checks every revisioned file to see if it exactly matches the unrevisioned file. Addremove does not offer this option. Eventually this should be a shell context menu option, and probably a '?' context menu option in the status/commit tool. I'm even thinking about popping up a dialog when the commit tool is launched and we find both unknown and missing files in the repository. The dialog would tell the user "It looks like you have renamed files, would you like TortoiseHg to guess those renames or copies?". Copy detection is obviously expensive in disk IO and computation, so this operation needs to be threaded (couldn't hurt to thread rename detection as well). But the dialog essentially works as it is. Please have a try.
