What does the command do when given a single -C instead of --f-c-h, with
or without your patch? What should it do?
Because try_to_follow_renames() is supposed to be a rare-event (it only
happens when a path we have been following disappears), I am having this
feeling that it would make more sense to do this change unconditionally.
Two possible outcomes that this patch allows the users to have by giving
them a choice to give (or not to give) --f-c-h are:
(1) the path is judged to be new in a commit and traversal finishes
there; or
(2) the path is found to be a copy from another path from one of the
parents and traversal continues.
But I think using --follow is a sure sign of the user wanting the latter
and never the former, no?
