Hi, I'm in the Chromium repository; it can be checked out at https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git (you don't need the sub-repostiories). HEAD is pointing to 4e0db738b37c. git 2.39.1. When I run git log --raw --follow base/third_party/xdg_user_dirs/xdg_user_dir_lookup.h this is the first commit that it lists (snipped): commit 5d4451ebf298d9d71f716cc0135f465cec41fcd0 [...] :100644 000000 9e81e1b53029f 0000000000000 D base/third_party/xdg_user_dirs/xdg_user_dir_lookup.h This indicates that the last thing that happened to the file is a delete. However, the file isn't deleted; it's alive and well. git log without --follow does not list this commit at all. So either git log --follow is listing a delete commit that doesn't make sense, or it's missing whatever commit put it back into place afterwards. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/
