Re: What about git cp ?

Hello,

I'm looking for a something which could be done by a git-cp command.

I'd like to copy a file with its history to a new  file but want to keep the old
one,

Git doesn't _record_ copies and renames, but detects them
after-the-fact (either by default, or explicitly like "git blame -C"
or so).

So, just "cp + git add" and you're done. That's what a "git cp"
command would do if it existed.
