Hi!

I tried it in both git 1.6.5.6 and git 1.7.0.5

The file has been moved:

=46rom
Src/folder1/folder2/File.java

To src/main/java/folder1/folder2/File.java

I don=E2=80=99t think it is relevant but just in case: The author has
committed the new file first, then the commit was amended with the
deletion of the source file.
So we ended up with the rename correctly detected.

Now
$ git log =E2=80=93M -- src/main/java/folder1/folder2/File.java

Shows only one last commit and doesn=E2=80=99t show the history when th=
e file
was in source folder. Same thing happens with

$ git log =E2=80=93C =C2=A0-- src/main/java/folder1/folder2/File.java

What gives?

Thanks,
Eugene
