Re: Rename detection at git log

Possibly related (same subject, not in this thread)

What it means is that "git log" will look at path that matches
b/a (that means b/a/c and b/a/d are looked at, if b/a were a
directory).  Since path "a" which is what the file was
originally at is not something the pattern b/a matches, there is
no way b/a is noticed as a rename from a.
I have found that git blame show correct commits for this case. But I am still 
in trouble then examining file's history. I have found I can use 
git show -C -M commit-sha1 
for commit there file was created to see if this was a rename :-)
