Yes. ‘hg addremove’ synthesizes the meta-information about moved files 
(perhaps also copied?) based on the similarity of files (default: 100%, 
i.e. files must be identical). ‘hg help addremove --verbose’ has the 
details.

I've used this sucessfully for importing from another VCS that doesn't 
support this kind of functionality.

Cheers,
Marcus
