> Unfortunately, WebRev is not very intelligent at presenting these changes. :-( I have made modifications to files that I have also moved, but WebRev just lists these files as "New" without any reference or diff with the original file. I don't know if if is possible to get an improved behaviour. I'm using the -f flag, on a repo that is cloned locally from the one I based the previous review on.

Is it complaining that it can't find the old versions? In those cases if you temporarily restore the old file then webrev should be able to show a diff of the content changes too, as long as the old version doesn't become re-managed. You could use rsync to restore the old files from a pristine clone, then hg purge to nuke when done.
