It originates from when openembedded had multiple versions for each recipe, to share logic. Some people say that it helps track history, but unless you put _only_ the checksums in the versioned file then you need to track the renamed file anyway, and git’s “—follow” option does a reasonable job. I don’t consider this a sufficient advantage considering the inconvenience of having a recipe split arbitrarily between two files. Ross
