Well, note my other email about how "--follow" does *not* play together 
with "--parents", because the two do totally different kinds of filtering 
of the commits. So yes, you can use it for file history annotation, but 
not for the "graphical history" part that depends on parenthood etc.

That said, you really would be better off using

	git blame -M --incremental

for the history annotation. It does the rename following *and* so much 
more.
