Re: git-pull - strange (copy/rename) messages ?!

where Daniel Barkalow [off-list ref] told me that...

Would it be easier to read if we say A was renamed to B, and A
was renamed to C, and A was renamed to D, ...?  I think the
current output is easier to understand than that.  B-Y gets
labelled as copy of A and Z gets labelled as rename.

I think it's more confusing for the system to report Z differently from 
other things, because there's nothing special about what it found, except 
that Z happens to be last.

I agree, but I'd prefer it to be labelled as a copy+remove instead of a
rename in case it is ambiguous. Just a simple rule - if the file was
removed and you get multiple rename candidates, mark all of them as
'copy'.
