How to merge relocated files

[Ulf Zibis]

Hi all,

this is my first post here, please excuse beginner mistakes.

I have:
src/path/file in branch A
test/path/file in branch B

I tried (with help of NetBeans IDE, so the real commands may be little different):
hg branch A
hg rename src/path/file test/path/file
hg merge B

With "hg status -C" I discovered, that the source information from the before rename was lost after 
the merge :-(
Even a later "hg copy -A src/path/file test/path/file" was rejected by error message.

What can I do to track test/path/file as sucessor of src/path/file in one commit after the merge?

Regards,

Ulf
