Robin said in a follow-up mail that he needs it for a payed-for SCM (let's describe it as TransparentBox here), which insists on explicit renames. But I suggest a simple script here which extracts from the diff the renames, which outputs a script which renames the file(s) back and then uses the TransparentBox' mv command: sed -n -e "/^rename from/N" \ -e "s/^rename from \(.*\)\nrename to \(.*\)/mv \2 \1 \&\& tb mv \1 \2/p" \ < diff.patch Ciao, Dscho - 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
