	vc-diff from vc-log doesn't show diff before renames (for Mercurial
	backend).
Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2012 20:29:08 +0200

As always:

  $ emacs -Q

Next I open any file from Mercurial repo which is "hg mv" or "hg cp".

If you build history "C-x v l" and try to look diff (log-view-diff or "d") for
changeset before rename you get message, like:

  Finding changes in /home/user/devel/my-devel/gadict/en-pronunciation_ru.rst...
  No changes between 214 and 215

while:

  $ hg diff -r 215 en-pronunciation_ru.rst

  diff --git a/en-spelling_ru.rst b/en-pronunciation_ru.rst
  copy from en-spelling_ru.rst
  copy to en-pronunciation_ru.rst
  --- a/en-spelling_ru.rst

   ===================


In GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10)
 of 2012-09-09 on trouble, modified by Debian

Also reproduced in GNU Emacs 24.2.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.24.10):

  $ bzr info -v

I expect that vc-view-diff follow history on copy as this do original CLI
client "hg".
