            Bug ID: 5126
           Summary: Binary file renamed on one branch and changed on other
                    causes unwarranted conflict on merge
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 3.5.2
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: bug
          Priority: normal
         Component: Mercurial
          Assignee: bugzilla at selenic.com
          Reporter: gabor.stefanik at nng.com
                CC: mercurial-devel at selenic.com

If I rename a binary file on one branch, and change it on the other, then try
to merge between these branches, Hg tries and fails to perform a 3-way file
merge, even though there is really nothing to merge, as the file hasn't changed
on the rename branch.

An unnecessary 3-way merge is also called for text files in this case, but at
least that's not fatal, only a performance issue.
