如何使用Tortoise Hg（mercurial）手动将文件标记为已移动/重命名

Question

I have repository with a lot of files of different type (including binary files). The thing is I decided to restructure my repository and moved most of files (it is about 5G) to another folder (inside the same repository). So, of course, I want to use find renames tool in Tortoise Hg but since the are a lot of files application client freezes and after some time stops responding . I know that those files are only moved so how can I manually force the TortoiseHg to mark them as renamed without using the tool ?

PS of course I can use this tool several time for only part of all files, but I want to know is it possible to do without find renames tool.

Answer 1

You can try running the following command in the terminal:

hg addremove --similarity 90

This will effectively tell Mercurial to detect renames of files which are 90% similar.
