Git rename detection does a phenomenally good job at rebasing patches across file renames. I don't think backporting patches to stable branches is going to be as difficult problem as you make it out to be, and I'm in favor of the rename for better organization. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
