That would probably be sensible, yes. Especially since "--follow" is fundamentally different from the "<paths>" thing in that you really should be able to only follow a single file. (Following multiple files causes huge amounts of pain - it might be possible, but I don't think it's worth it). > git-rev-list could then output hash with current set of <filenames>, which > were given <filename> at the beginning, i.e. > <hash> -- <filename> [<filename>...] I would argue that "--follow" would be incompatible with having other <paths> listed. But maybe there is some sensible rule for what the combination means (show the listed paths _and_ the file we're following?) I dunno.
