nautilus-bzr plugin does not hook rename

[Kip Warner]

Renaming a file or directory through Nautilus that is part of a bzr branch does not appear to be hooked by the plugin's logic. Renaming through Nautilus should effect the same as running bzr rename directly on the file or directory.

Thanks Jelmer.

Marking as also affecting nautilus-python, since it doesn't provide a way to track file renames.

Hey Adam. Thanks for the heads up. I've cc'd the bug report in case
Jelmer's got anything he'd like to add to the discussion.
