Then merge the other developer's changes. :) This is exactly the sort of case that git's rename detection should handle; it should detect that the other side renamed files, and then consider your changes against the newly named files. The only thing it _won't_ handle is new files that you added in 1/2/3. You will have to manually move them to 1/2 as part of the merge (there has been discussion of "detect that this whole directory seems to have had its content moved and automatically move new files", but the patches have not been accepted). -Peff -- 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
