Git *should* be able to track those changes across a rename and even with a rename on one branch and changes on another; in my experience it works well for filename renames, but git doesn't understand directory renames at all, so new files do have to be moved to their new locations manually. > I missed the discussion on this, what's the point of renaming all these > files? I know there has been talk about this on and off for a long time (to get all the arch code into arch/). I don't know if there are any mechanical reasons for it, on top of that. -hpa
