### TFS 2008 can't copy a file without breaking the history, which just baffles me ###
### This is how Hg does it: ####

D:\temp>mkdir HgCopyTest

D:\temp>cd HgCopyTest

D:\temp\HgCopyTest>hg init

D:\temp\HgCopyTest>echo Hello there > A.txt

D:\temp\HgCopyTest>hg add A.txt

D:\temp\HgCopyTest>hg com A.txt -m "Added A.txt"

D:\temp\HgCopyTest>hg annotate A.txt
0: Hello there

D:\temp\HgCopyTest>hg copy A.txt B.txt

D:\temp\HgCopyTest>hg com -m "Copied A.txt to B.txt"

D:\temp\HgCopyTest>hg annotate B.txt
0: Hello there

D:\temp\HgCopyTest>echo Some new line >> B.txt

D:\temp\HgCopyTest>hg com -m "Added new content to B.txt"

D:\temp\HgCopyTest>hg annotate B.txt
0: Hello there
2: Some new line

### Note that the first line of text is correctly annotated against changeset 0 when it was written, not changeset 1 when the file was copied ###
