Given a repo that contains a file x.c
that got renamed from
some/path/x.c
to
new/location/x.c

Is it possible (ideally with gitk) to view the complete history of what 
is now new/location/x.c *including* the history of changes that occurred 
when it stil was some/path/x.c?
When I say "gitk new/location/x.c" I get just the changes made starting 
with the rename.
When I call "gitk" and look for the changeset, the rename is detected, 
though. Therefore I hope that it is somehow possible to obtain the 
complete file-specific history without truncation at renames.

Any ideas?

Thank you, best regards
Christoph
