If I replace this with a longer input, like: cp /usr/share/dict/words foo > $ git add foo > $ git commit -m foo > $ echo 0 > bar > $ git add bar > $ git commit -m bar > $ git mv -f foo bar > $ git commit -m foobar > $ git log --oneline --reverse > 7dc2765 foo > b0c837d bar > 88caeba foobar > $ git blame -s -C -C bar > 88caebab 1) foo > 88caebab 2) bar Then the blame shows me the initial "foo" commit. So I think it is mainly that your toy example is too small (I think we will do exact rename detection whatever the size is, but I expect we are getting hung up on the break detection between "0\n" and "foo\nbar\n"). > I can see how this is not trivially representable in e.g. git diff-tree, > but shouldn't at least blame try to tell that those lines actually come > from 7dc2765? diff-tree can show this, too, but you need to turn on "break detection" which will notice that "bar" has essentially been rewritten (and then consider its sides as candidates for rename detection). For example (with the longer input, as above): $ git diff-tree --name-status -M HEAD c6fe146b0c73adcbc4dbc2e58eb83af9007678bc M bar D foo $ git diff-tree --name-status -M -B HEAD c6fe146b0c73adcbc4dbc2e58eb83af9007678bc R100 foo bar Presumably if you set the break score low enough, your original example would behave the same way, but I couldn't get it to work (I didn't look closely, but I imagine it is just so tiny that we hit the internal limits on how low you can set the score). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
