[issue760] hg status --copies does not work well with --rev

[Patrick Mézard]

New submission from Patrick Mézard <pmezard at gmail.com>:

Copies are only detected when referenced by the dirstate. The ability to know a
file used to be named like another in a previous rev may be useful to diff
across revisions. Having a copy/rename aware diff command maybe useful too.

$ hg init
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -Am t
adding a
$ hg copy a b
$ hg ci -Am t
$ hg st --rev 0 --copies
A b
