Looking at http://pastebin.com/1R68v6jt , I have a work around. In summary, 7.git cherry-pick -x HEAD..rebranding , then git merge $(echo 'Merge of 1ca13ed2271d60ba93d40bcc8db17ced8545f172 branch - rebranding' |\ git commit-tree -p HEAD -p rebranding \ $(git cat-file -p HEAD | grep ^tree | sed -e 's/^tree //') ) Now it is perfect in the blame and log --graph. > > What you are encountering now seems to be a shortcoming of Git's > current rename/copy detection.
