Nope.
How it is so, if the blobs (file contents) are stored filename hashed?
IIRC hg has some scheme to deal with renames, but it is file-id (file
identity) based AFAIK.

No, the buckets are simply the filename.  If you rename, you take the penalty of duplicating the content (compressed) with a new name.  No big deal there.  So there are *no* file-ids.  Blobs go into the data/index file which corresponds to their filename.
