There were patches floating around for an option called "--follow" to "git

I don't remember what happened to them - I suspect the implementation 
wasn't up to snuff. But the *concept* is definitely right.

Yes, the concept is good.  It was from Fredrik of
merge-recursive fame.

The patch was not _bad_, but it looked a bit too intrusive back
then and scared me away.
