Namely, in effect, they ask: "Does the user get to do extra work in order to get rename-detection?" Let me humbly suggest an alternate, two-fold, very practical criteria that I actually care about as a user: 1) If I edit file A, while another developer renames file A to B, and I merge my work with his, do I have to clean things up myself, or does everything Just Work? 2) If I'm browsing the history of some code in a renamed file, does the history continue through the rename? By these criteria, git certainly does support renames. -chris - 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
