As good as the content based rename detection is I got burned recently by it. I renamed hundreds of small files in one shot and also did a few hundered adds and deletes of other small XML files. Git generated a lot of those unrelated adds/deletes as rename/modifies, as their content was very similiar. Some people involved in the project freaked as the files actually had nothing in common with one another... except for a lot of XML elements (as they shared the same DTD). -- Shawn. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Sat Oct 21 03:21:38 2006
