I have the following scenario: On a branch A, I deleted a file foo.txt and committed the change. Then I did a bunch of other changes. Now I want to undelete foo.txt.
One way is to checkout a separate branch B where the file is present. Then checkout A. Then do git checkout B -- path_to_file While this does gets the file back, the file shows up as a new file to be committed. Once I commit it, git blame doesn't show the old history for the file. I would appreciate if anyone knows how to preserve git blame history.
