[OT?] Moving files with git, without losing history.
Dear Mentors,
Although it is not really a Debian question, it is for a package that I try to
convert to git…
Despite it is written everywhere that Git automagically understands renames, if
I move a file and do ‘git log’ on it, I do not see its history anymore. In
contrary to what is documented on the interweb, adding --follow or setting
diff.renames to true never worked in my hands.
Any suggestion ?
Have a nice day,
