If I remember correctly, the patch implementing --follow was fairly intrusive, and was unfortunate in that it was posted during changes in diffcore. Lack of --follow is not a big issue because you can do this "by hand"; you can use git-diff-tree -M at the end of file history to check if [git considers] it was moved from somewhere. During discussion we have agreed that we would like to have both --follow rename following limiter and static path limiter (and that it would be nice to extend static path limiter to include globs). -- Jakub Narebski Poland - 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 Sun Oct 22 05:21:56 2006
