Re: Intensive rename detection

"Andrew Arnott" [off-list ref] writes:

I'm refactoring a library including renaming both files and
directories.  A few lines of each file are also changed, but they are
substantially unchanged in content.  I've done a git add to put all my
changes into the index, but a git status shows that git only detected
a few of the renames... most of them are delete-add operations.  Is
there anything I can do to help git recognize the rename so that
history is preserved across this commit?

There is no need to do anything at commit time.

After making the commit, you can look at it with lower similarity
threashold, e.g.

	git show --stat -M1 HEAD

The default behaviour IIRC corresponds to -M5 (that is 50%).
