Binary equivalent files with different filenames causes errors in hg rename detection
Created originally on Bitbucket by markstahler (Mark Stahler)
I attempted to move a source directory within a repository using the detect renames feature after the move. This worked as expected except for several VB6 generated frx files which have the same binary contents but differing filenames. It appears the detection algorithm in TortoiseHG seems to ignore filename if file contents match 100% which was the incorrect behavior for this match.
I have attached two images to try and make this more clear.
