Removal of the old build system, partial and preliminary review (part 3)

[Phil Race]

I had this problem recently and I don't think you need restore the files 
- just the directory.
I used hg mv to relocate the files but because *all* files were moved out
of the directory  so hg deleted the directory. It was sufficient to
mkdir <the-old-dir> again for webrev to properly recognise the files as 
moved.

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.

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.
