Clean way of extracting rename information from mercurial

[Dustin Sallings]

   I wouldn't call that error prone.  Mercurial and git both have to  
understand then and can't get them wrong.

   There's an api provided by mercurial that will do that for you.  I  
don't remember exactly what it is since I don't have a computer out,  
but I have a program that relies on it.
