I know how to use Mercurial to rename a file. And I understand that the hg log
command does not display file history prior to renaming the file unless you use the -f
option, and also that you can force the file history to be displayed as described in the accepted answer here Why 'hg mv' (mercurial) doesn't move a file's history by default?
However, when I rename a file, and then check the File History using TortoiseHg, I am unable to view the full history of the file including any changes prior to renaming the file, even though I updated my ~/.hgrc file to include those changes as explanined in the aforementioned link. How can I do that? How can I force File History to include changes that happened to the file prior to renaming the file, and display that history list on TortoisHg?
TertoiseHg version 3.1 shows the full history. I had version 2.8 that did now show the history.
Thanks to Lazy Badger for his answer.
