	vc-diff from vc-log doesn't show diff before renames (for Mercurial
	backend).

Additional info.

As we get know that HG doesn't allow follow history for HG another Emacs vc
module work as not expected.

So make test repo:

  mkdir /tmp/test
  cd /tmp/test
  hg init
  echo xxx >>README
  hg add
  hg ci -m init
  echo yyy >>README
  hg ci -m before
  hg mv README INSTALL
  hg ci -m rename
  echo zzz >>INSTALL
  hg ci -m after

open INSTALL file and annotate content (C-x v g runs the command vc-annotate).
Next go to previous version by "a" (vc-annotate-revision-previous-to-line) on
second line:

  0 Tue Nov 27 21:12:00 2012 +0200  README: xxx
  1 Tue Nov 27 21:12:23 2012 +0200  README: yyy          (*1*)
  3 Tue Nov 27 21:13:15 2012 +0200 INSTALL: zzz

So you move to:

  0 Tue Nov 27 21:12:00 2012 +0200 README: xxx           (*2*)

If you try move forward by "w" (vc-annotate-working-revision) Emacs print
error:

  vc-annotate-warp-revision: Invalid argument to vc-annotate-warp-revision

While in case of SVN we back to original state (*1*).
