2 change(s) containing a total of 3 file revision(s) were successfully fetched.

OK, that's a regular fetch. Next, we'll mess with the history to create a partial rename situation.

Files are missing as a result of one or more move operations.  The files are:
Change 2 performs a move/add on //stream/main/Two.h#1, but the parameters of this fetch, push, or zip command include only part of the full action. Specify a wider view to include both the source and target of the change, or specify a narrower view to exclude both the source and target of the change.

Error: The fetch of the partial renamed failed (as expected, but not as desired).
==============================================================================
The Result:
The above fetch failure is expected due to the current limitation on fetching partial renames.
Desired behavior would be to import the move/add action and leave behind the obliterated move/delete half of the action (possibly requiring a '-f' or '-F' force option). There may be limitations to that, but there should be a way to force through the fetch if we decide to ignore that specific type of fetch failure.
