How can I rebase without destroying changeset metadata?

Actually, that was by design: some extra fields can be safely moved,
other cannot (branch name for instance). At API level you can register
a callback to filter the fields you want but not at CLI level. Mads
suggested the default behaviour (not rebasing fields) could be changed
to rebase them always. I am afraid this comes a little too late and
might be surprising for many extensions.

That said, I got bitten by the very same problem in hgsubversion,
though it can be fixed there.
