As part of the Boomer project, we have files for which we did:

"cp srcfile dstfile"
"hg add dstfile"
"edit dstfile"
"hg commit dstfile"
"hg rm srcfile"

While this is basically accurately reflected in the history and webrev, 
what I would like to do is more accurately reflect the change as "move 
and edit" of the file.  So that webrev would show just the changes, 
rather than treat it as a new file and deletion of the old.

Is there anyway to go back in and retroactively "fix up" the history 
information in a repo?  Right now our webrev 
(http://cr.opensolaris.org/~gdamore/boomer/) stands at a bit over 160k 
lines, and I'd like to shrink that somewhat if I can.  Since many of 
these were drivers that were moved & edited in the above fashion, if I 
can make life better for the reviewers, I think I might get a higher 
quality of review.

Is it possible, short of going back in and reapplying the changes myself?

Thanks.
