Re: [darcs-devel] Darcs and git: plan of action

Aye, that will require some metadata on the git side (the hack,
suggested by Linus, of using git hashes to notice moves won't work).

So, why won't it work?

Because two files can legitimately have identical contents without
being ``the same'' file from the VC system's point of view.

In other words, two files may happen to have the same contents but
have distinct histories.
