Subject: --follow is ignored when used with --reverse
Date: Fri, 24 May 2013 01:23:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130524012324.295dec77@hugo.daonet.home> (raw)

Hello!

This [has been reported][1] to this list about half a year ago
but with no response so I'm  not even sure if it's been
acknowledged as bug.

  [1]: http://marc.info/?l=git&m=135215709307126&q=raw

When I use `git log --follow file` all is OK, but once I add
`--reverse` to it, it no longer follows the file beyond renames.

This makes it hard to query for when the file was really added,
which I was trying to achieve with

    $ git -1 --reverse --follow several_times_renamed_file

Is this going to be fixed?

Thanks,
aL.
