Diff doesn't work across a rename/move in a file's history

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. rename or move a file, and commit it
2. open the file's history
3. select the last 2 revisions and do "compare with each other"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output: no difference found
What I see instead: left side has the file with everything selected, right side 
is empty and says "DOES NOT EXIST"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.9.0 on Linux

Please provide any additional information below.
Apparently it's doing hg locate with the new path in the old revision.
The vertical "chain" on the left side of the history tab is also missing before 
the move.

Will be fixed in 2.0 when we can use the command server to efficiently get 
rename information.
