Unfortunately it doesn't appear to have any effect for me.  I've 
previously mailed you a sample repo I'm trying with.  Its graph 
looks like:

Initially there's an README file in the root of the repository.  In 
rev 3 the file is (properly) renamed to doc/README.  In rev 4 it 
gets few lines added.  In rev 5 the not yet renamed on that branch 
README also gets few lines added.  The merge rev 6 gets the lines 
added to README in rev 5 to the renamed doc/README, but then the 
annotations show those lines are made by rev 6, and not rev 5.  Do 
you know what's happening (or not happening) in this case?
