Getting full history of a file, including that beyond copies, is rather

You seem to be right. I'm quite new to Git so don't know all the
commands, but this is what I came up with..
$ git log --raw 2009/exercise2/description.txt
commit edfd954572e844b05a7489bcaa149afb679bc1f6
Author: Graeme Geldenhuys <graeme@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Course 2009 recycled entirely from 2008
:000000 100644 0000000... e965047... A 2009/exercise2/description.txt
We then take note of the ^^^^^^^ value and generate the following
command.
$ git log -C --raw | grep e965047
:000000 100644 0000000... e965047... A 2009/exercise2/description.txt
:000000 100644 0000000... e965047... A 2008/exercise2/description.txt
:000000 100644 0000000... e965047... A 2007/exercise1/description.txt
Now now shows you the history of the file as it was copied from one
directory to another.
