[issue1822] hg rename -A gives no success/failure feedback

New submission from Stephen Rank <smrank at zepler.org>:

Tested on Mercurial 1.3.1 on Windows XP SP3.

When doing a hg rename -A there is no feedback.

For example if (outside of hg) you've renamed a file from abc.def to bcd.efg
and then enter the following command:

hg rename -A abc.def bcd.typo

nothing will happen because you didn't get the filename correct but there
will be no feedback to indicate this. Likewise when you type:

hg rename -A abc.def bcd.efg

the rename will now succeed but there will still be no feedback. So each
time a rename -A is made it is necessary to check hg stat to ensure that it
succeeded, it would be better if there was a message to tell you.

p.s. If you also use the -v argument then you get a message on success but
still no message on failure (and this argument should not be needed for
basic feedback IMHO).
