Hi,
the -C option makes git-blame look for copied lines from other files.
I'm quoting the manpage:
In addition to -M, detect lines copied from other files that were
modified in the same commit. This is useful when you reorganize your
program and move code around across files. When this option is given
twice, the command looks for copies from all other files in the parent
for the commit that creates the file in addition.
Fact is, it can be given up to three times.
See this comment in builtin-blame.c:
/*
* -C enables copy from removed files;
* -C -C enables copy from existing files, but only
* when blaming a new file;
* -C -C -C enables copy from existing files for
* everybody
*/
Specifying -C three times is the only way to find content that was
copied from unmodified source files after the file being annotated was
created. Works very well, and is precisely the feature I was urgently
looking for.
