[Ns-developers] File history in ns-3-dev

[Josh Pelkey]

Aha, well I'm glad to see that most of these are preserved. I failed
to do it correctly when I modularized nix and olsr. I guess the proper
way is to use "hg rename." Also, I don't see a way to get the
preserved file history through the web interface unfortunately. Please
correct me :)
