Hello, 

I couldn't find the answer to this in the docs: What's the recommended
way to review the history of a file that have been moved?

For example, I move a file, and want to create a diff of it's history 
that spans the move.

Here's what I tried, and it exposes an apparent bug: The diff tools are
looking for the file with the name it before it was moved:

#mark at nollie$ darcs diff --last 4 date_moved.t
#Mon Oct 18 10:22:55 EST 2004  Mark Stosberg <mark at summersault.com>
#  * added 3rd line.
#
#Mon Oct 18 10:22:38 EST 2004  Mark Stosberg <mark at summersault.com>
#  * moved 2nd time
#
#Mon Oct 18 10:18:18 EST 2004  Mark Stosberg <mark at summersault.com>
#  * moved date file.
#  moved.
#
#Mon Oct 18 10:03:42 EST 2004  Mark Stosberg <mark at summersault.com>
#  * adding date file.
#
#
#gdiff: centeral_repo-old/date_moved.t: No such file or directory
#gdiff: centeral_repo-new/date_moved.t: No such file or directory
