Side note: in the meantime, if you know that you only work with the people who have already gone through the re-education program and will not need to be reported to the Office of non-Git Behavior Correction, you can add this to your ~/.gitconfig (or do it per-repository in .git/config if you work with lesser quality people on some of your stuff): [diff] renames (or even "renames=copy" to get not just rename, but also copy-detection done automatically - but that can be quite a bit more expensive, and the upsides aren't as huge. But sometimes the copy detection is really very interesting, because it has occasionally found some really interesting patterns when people create new files). [ Final note: I know, I know, my own release patches are done without -M. It's horrible, and I feel bad about it every time, but the thing is, I expect that people who actually want to download tar-balls and patches to update their kernel are in the stone age, so I do those without rename detection very much on purpose. So in this case do as I say, not as I do. ] Linus
