Is there a "--follow" equvalent argument to git-rev-list?

I'm trying to make emacs vc log (`C-x v l') show the full history of git
versioned files.

In my first attempt, I tried adding a "--follow" argument to "git log"
in the vc-git-print-log message.  This made `C-x v l' show the full log.

But the problem with this solution was that commands done from the log,
such as diffing (a very convenient way to do diffs, when the "version
numbers" are sha1 hashes...), showing a particular revision, or
annotating from that revision and back, didn't work.  See the comment at
the end of this bug:
 http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8756

Today I decided to take another peek at this, but vc-git.el in the emacs
23.1 version of the file, now uses "git rev-list" instead of "git log"
to get the revision list.

And "git rev-list" doesn't seem to have anything similar to
"--follow"...?  At least I haven't found it.

The man page doesn't contain the text "renam".

Guessing at what the man page has meant, I've tried adding the "--all"
and "--full-history" arguments, but `C-x v l' still only shows history
back to the last move.

Is there an argument to "git rev-list" that will make it track across
renames?  Or is this only possible with "git log --follow"?

Thanks!
