monotone The files are listed in alphabetical order.

Well, yes. Unless the user remembers doing the rename, or the names make sense, the only way to figure it out is to read all the possible pairs of files. But in general, I find alphabetical order very helpful. And renames should be rare, and the user should commit immediately after the renames, so I don't think it's much of a problem. -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Dvc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/dvc-dev
