copy/rename to a removed destination file When the destination of a copy or rename operation has been marked for removal, we need to restore it before we overwrite it with the new content. This also handles the case of idempotent renames, i.e. hg rename "a" "b" hg rename "b" "a"

#!/bin/sh

hg init rep
cd rep
mkdir dir
touch foo dir/bar
hg -v addremove
hg -v commit -m "add 1" -d "0 0"
cd dir/
touch ../foo_2 bar_2
hg -v addremove
hg -v commit -m "add 2" -d "0 0"
