Subject: Should copy/rename detection consider file overwrites?
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:29:08 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150123012908.GA8558@glandium.org> (raw)
Hi,
While fooling around with copy/rename detection, I noticed that it
doesn't detect the case where you copy or rename a file on top of
another:
$ git init
$ (echo foo; echo bar) > foo
$ git add foo
$ git commit -m foo
$ echo 0 > bar
$ git add bar
$ git commit -m bar
$ git mv -f foo bar
$ git commit -m foobar
$ git log --oneline --reverse
7dc2765 foo
b0c837d bar
88caeba foobar
$ git blame -s -C -C bar
88caebab 1) foo
88caebab 2) bar
I can see how this is not trivially representable in e.g. git diff-tree,
but shouldn't at least blame try to tell that those lines actually come
from 7dc2765?
Mike
