If I call hg log --follow new_file I can follow its history across copies and renames. If I want to revert to before the rename I need to know the old name. A --follow on hg revert to recreate the old file would be great.

Hmm, not sure if that's a bug. We do the right thing with: hg revert -r1 new_file old_file hg revert -r1 -a Setting to feature.

Suppose a old_file was renamed to new_file in revision 2. The command hg revert --rev 1 new_file deletes new_file but does not recreate old_file.
