What git does is a heuristic when presenting > diffs based on how similar the two files are. My intention to use git mv was to retain history on the file. I tried below locally but it did not retain the history. git mv <orig-path> <new-path> < modify the file content > git add <new-path> git commit -m "commit message" git log --follow <new-path> -> expected to see old commits in log but it showed only one log.
