Try

man hg | egrep -2 '(rename|-f)'

E.g.

|        rename [OPTION]... SOURCE... DEST
|           Mark dest as copies of sources; mark sources for deletion. If dest is a directory, copies are put in that directory. If dest is a file, there can only be one source.
[...]
|        log [OPTION]... [FILE]
|           Print the revision history of the specified files or the entire project.
| 
|              File history is shown without following rename or copy history of
|              files.  Use -f/--follow with a file name to follow history across
|              renames and copies.

And similar for hg grep and other history querying commands.
