The kernel uses subdirectories extensively, and a lot of renames (most of them, I'd say) is because of that subdirectory structure. So the same-directory case is the unusual one, I'd say. > 3.) splitting file into modules, huge-file.c to file1.c, file2.c? > 4.) copying fragment of one file to other? > 5.) moving fragment of code from one file to other? I'd say that (5) is very common. And (4) happens a lot under certain circumstances (new driver, new architecture, new filesystem..). Doing (3) happens, but probably less often that it should ;/ Linus - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
