When committing changes to Mercurial, it can auto-detect move/copy/renames by using the command
hg addremove -similarity 100
The number after similarity indicates how similar two files need to be from 0-100% for mercurial to decide its a move, copy or rename instead of just a new file.
This is a great feature. Can TortoiseHg do this?
Yes it can. If you take a look at the TortoiseHg manual you’ll find section 4.12 entitled “Rename Guessing”. To quote:
The nice thing is step 5: you can actually toggle the similarity as you go, and Tortoise changes what files are considered renames on the fly. You can get most of what you want by sliding the bar carefully to the right percentage and re-checking.
