[issue295] hg import should detect renames/copies

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge]

New submission from Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy at goop.org>:

hg import should detect when a patch creates a new file which is substantially
the same as an existing file, and mark it as a copy.  If the existing file gets
removed, then it should be treated as a rename.

mq should have the same behaviour when qpushing a patch.
