* Aaron Gray:
I have a very large C source project that I am converting from C to C++.
Is it posssible to track changes with renamed files in GIT ?
You don't need to rename the files if you compile them using g++. If
you still want to rename them, most history-related GIT commands
accept an -M switch which enables rename ("move") detection.
For sanity they have to be renamed.
I am a bit of a GIT newbie. With the -M switch what would be the proceedure
with a single file conversion such as with test.c and test.cpp ?
Would the following do the trick ?
git add test.c
git commit
rename test.c test.cpp *
vi test.cpp
git rm test.c
git add test.cpp
git commit -M
Many thanks in advance,
Aaron
