No worries. I'm not an hg user. Ian Campbell sent a patch
to get_maintainer to use git log option --follow for a largish
file rename event in drivers/net/... and I was trying to get
the hg commands in get_maintainer to do the same.

Any idea if tracking file renames in hg needs an additional
command line option and if so what it is?
