Re: Git log can not show history before rename

Does it conflict with --parents?
When I use --follow and --parents together,  parents can't rewrite.
without --follow, parent can rewrite.

I can't get history before rename.

You asked to restrict the search to the b.c path.

You want:

git log --follow -- b.c

Man git-log:
      --follow
          Continue listing the history of a file beyond renames.
