A= ll it can tell you is "looking at the trees, I would guess that file foo was moved to bar in revision abcdef01". That is not tracking in a sense keeping track of anything. It is just digging out interesting similarities between the individual trees. --=20 Jan 'Bulb' Hudec --kHRd/tpU31Zn62xO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGyfkcRel1vVwhjGURAm4NAJ9Qi54cvm1VfdSbR5SkJL4hALJ+uwCgnKNA WHh4ILQq47/87FdjMm25BMY= =fwHd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --kHRd/tpU31Zn62xO--
