Hi!

I tried it in both git 1.6.5.6 and git 1.7.0.5

The file has been moved:

From
Src/folder1/folder2/File.java

To src/main/java/folder1/folder2/File.java

I don’t think it is relevant but just in case: The author has
committed the new file first, then the commit was amended with the
deletion of the source file.
So we ended up with the rename correctly detected.

Now
$ git log –M -- src/main/java/folder1/folder2/File.java

Shows only one last commit and doesn’t show the history when the file
was in source folder. Same thing happens with

$ git log –C  -- src/main/java/folder1/folder2/File.java

What gives?

Thanks,
Eugene

You want the --follow flag, too.

Thanks! I missed this guy. By the way it seems that --follow flag
works without -M or -C.

Are those deprecated or I'm missing the difference between three of them??

Thanks,
Eugene
