    copy: add experimental support for marking committed copies · 9dab3fa64325
    Martin von Zweigbergk authored
    The simplest way I'm aware of to mark a file as copied/moved after
    committing is this:
    
      hg uncommit --keep <src> <dest>  # <src> needed for move, but not copy
      hg mv --after <src> <dest>
      hg amend
    
    This patch teaches `hg copy` a `--at-rev` argument to simplify that
    into:
    
      hg copy --after --at-rev . <src> <dest>
    
    In addition to being simpler, it doesn't touch the working copy, so it
    can easily be used even if the destination file has been modified in
    the working copy.
