Title Body

I've renamed a couple of files using git mv , used git stash , had a quick look at HEAD (without changing it) then did git stash pop to get the whole lot back again. My moves had disappeared from the commit list, so I redid them with git rm and the commit message claimed git had spotted the rename was a rename. So I thought no more of it. But now, post-commit, I can't get at the history of the moved files! Here's what git says about the commit in question: ~/projects% git log --summary commit de6e9fa2179ae17ec35a5c368d246f19da27f93a Author: brone Date: Wed Dec 8 22:37:54 2010 +0000 Moved R_DebugUI into runtime delete mode 100644 test/R_DebugUI_iOS.h delete mode 100644 test/R_DebugUI_iOS.m create mode 100644 system/runtime/src/R_DebugUI_iOS.h create mode 100644 system/runtime/src/R_DebugUI_iOS.m <<snip older commits>> ~/projects% I'm now trying to get the history of one of these moved files, so I can look at an old version, but I don't get anything very useful: ~/projects/system/runtime/src% git log --follow --find-copies-harder -M -C R_DebugUI_iOS.m commit de6e9fa2179ae17ec35a5c368d246f19da27f93a Author: brone Date: Wed Dec 8 22:37:54 2010 +0000 Moved R_DebugUI into runtime ~/projects/system/runtime/src% (I've also tried it without -M , -C and --find-copies-harder , but to no avail.) I can get its history under its old name, which stops at the point it was deleted from its old location: ~/projects% git log --summary --follow --find-copies-harder -M -C -- test/R_DebugUI_iOS.m commit de6e9fa2179ae17ec35a5c368d246f19da27f93a Author: brone Date: Wed Dec 8 22:37:54 2010 +0000 Moved R_DebugUI into runtime delete mode 100644 test/R_DebugUI_iOS.m commit 32a22d53c27e260714f759ecb3d3864e38b2e87f Author: brone Date: Tue Dec 7 23:52:51 2010 +000
