[issue2626] hg rename doesn't preserve history

[techtonik]

New submission from techtonik <techtonik at gmail.com>:

According to http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/PerforceConcepts Mercurial
supports moving file preserving its history, but it doesn't work with plain
1.7.3 on Windows.

I do:
hg rename share/moin/instance/wikiconfig.py var/instance/wikiconfig.py

It is recorded as add and rename and when I open
http://localhost:8000/log/<hash>/wiki/var/instance/wikiconfig.py only the
new revision is displayed.
