I'm confused about history and directory renaming. Where did my history go? I have a git repo with a doc/ directory, which I renamed to Documentation/ $ mv doc/ Documentation/ $ git commit -a where I see a lot of deletes $ git push $ git add Documentation/ $ git commit -a and I see that a all my doc files added, as expected. $ git push But when I got to look at the history of the Documentation/ directory $ git log Documentation/ I only see one commit message even if I do a $ git log --follow Documentation/ I don't see my history. Even if I try a single file $ git log --follow README I only see the single rename commit, not any history. What did I do wrong? I'm guessing, in hindsight, that I probably should have done $ mv doc/ Documentation/ $ git add Documentation/ $ git commit -a but is there anyway to get my history back given what I have done? Thanks for the help.
