SOLVED! I retried in the latest version of TortoiseHg and it's okay (my
version of THG was not the latest, version 2.8). I upgraded to the latest
version, 2.10.2 (in both Windows 64 and Ubuntu) and it kept the revision
history after the file/directory rename and compress! BTW: The history was
lost after step 4 previously. Thanks to Mischa Becker from the Mercurial
mailing list for trying this out and not seeing the problem with the latest
version ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>).

Subject: Loosing revision history after rename and compress/rebase
I'm looking for support on this problem we have seen. We don't know how to
work around this other than assume it's intended behavior. It's not cool to
loose revision history from code that we are moving around and changing. I've
sent this to the Mercurial community but perhaps it belongs with the TortoiseHg
community. It could be a feature request vs. a defect. Anyone have any
help/thoughts?
Steps to reproduce using TortoiseHg:
1. Pick a committed file with a significant revision history
2. Right click on file and under TortoiseHg, rename the file from one
directory to a new one (with renaming the file also is what I tried in my
testing)
3. Commit the changes
4. Compress the new changes onto a base revision to create a new
changeset. Alternatively: also rebase the changeset on the base revision (with
the same results)
5. Optional if used compress: Strip the original changeset that was
compressed (that is no longer needed)
6. Notice that the old revision history is missing from the file (and
there is only 1 changeset instead of the full revision history with multiple
changesets)
My version information:
TortoiseHg version 2.8
with Mercurial-2.6, Python-2.7.3, PyQt-4.9.6, Qt-4.8.4
