Hi all,

This is my stupid perl script to detect renames all the way to it's
origin.  This is my first attempt at writing a perl script so it looks
a bit awful.  It's not perfect, if a file is renamed, the entire
commit is dumped out.  Maybe if git-diff-tree -M <pathname> does post
processing to output changes relevant to <pathname> then it will work
quite well.
