I try to rename directory which includes largefile-normal mixed via hg rename <orig-dir> <dest-dir> , and results as this: orig/foo.png (largefile) → dest/orig/foo.png orig/bar.txt (normal) → dest/bar.txt ... I'm annoyed by this behavior, I'd like to know how to resolve this problem.

I guess what you are seeing is because the folder has a file which isn't tracked by mercurial.

Workaround might be to rename the folder then run hg rename --after

For example (windows):

  ren orig dest
  hg rename --after orig dest
