Description Joerg Sonnenberger 2010-07-12 08:23 UTC 
Test case:

mkdir test
cd test
hg init
echo foo > test
hg add
hg ci -m "test"
dd if=/dev/zero of=test seek=1024k bs=1k count=1
hg revert -a

Watch hg copying the whole file. It should rename the file. While talking
about this on IRC it was mentioned that hardlink breakage might be
desirable, so a check for nlinks==1 might be useful.

(revert: rename original to .orig instead of copying (issue2282))
