But how would one ever get a copy operation to show up in the output of `git status -z` to begin with? It appears copies are only detected in `diff` and `show`, can be forced with the --find-copies-harder option, but that `git status` does not appear to take that option nor detect copies in any way that I can get it to replicate and output that status code to me... a test case would be great if you know one, thanks! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
