+ * `hg copy` now supports a `--rev` argument to mark files as copied in the
+   specified commit. It only works with `--after` for now (i.e., it's only
+   useful for marking files copied using non-hg `cp` as copied).
+
  * `hg uncopy` can be used to unmark a file as copied. Use `hg uncopy -r REV`
    to unmark already committed copies.

-check that stat information such as mtime is preserved on rename - it's unclear
-whether the `touch` and `stat` commands are portable, so we mimic them using
-python.  Not all platforms support precision of even one-second granularity, so
-we allow a rather generous fudge factor here; 1234567890 is 2009, and the
-primary thing we care about is that it's not the machine's current time;
-hopefully it's really unlikely for a machine to have such a broken clock that
-this test fails. :)
-
-  $ mkdir mtime
-Create the file (as empty), then update its mtime and atime to be 1234567890.
-  >>> import os
-  >>> filename = "mtime/f"
-  >>> mtime = 1234567890
-  >>> open(filename, "w").close()
-  >>> os.utime(filename, (mtime, mtime))
-  $ hg ci -qAm 'add mtime dir'
-"hg cp" does not preserve the mtime, so it should be newer than the 2009
-timestamp.

-  >>> from __future__ import print_function
-  >>> import os
-  >>> filename = "mtime_cp/f"
-  >>> print(os.stat(filename).st_mtime < 1234567999)
-  False
-"hg mv" preserves the mtime, so it should be ~equal to the 2009 timestamp
-(modulo some fudge factor due to not every system supporting 1s-level
-precision).
