I'm seeing this too Yonik :-( This really sucks. I googled and found this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27797965/showing-graphically-the-equivalent-of-git-log-follow-in-intellij Which makes reference to 2 IntelliJ issue tracker bug reports, both marked as closed years ago. In summary, Jetbrains says IntelliJ has its own rename detection algorithm and deliberately doesn't use "--follow" because it alleges it to be buggy. What to do? I'm sure it's controversial to suggest this but... why did we need this delete all & re-add commits in the first place? I'm +1 to a force push to omit them; it will never be easier to do this than now (just 4 branches). FWIW IntelliJ's algorithm *does* follow SearchComponent.java from just prior to this to its inception in 2007 -- my go-to test this feature works. I tested this by adding a branch based on a hash from just prior to these commits and then viewing the history of this file (all via IntelliJ). ~ David On Sat, Jan 23, 2016 at 10:27 PM Mark Miller <markrmil...@gmail.com> wrote: > Just a guess, but perhaps the follow option will help? > On Sat, Jan 23, 2016 at 9:56 PM Yonik Seeley <ysee...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Everything looks fine from the command line, but Intellij IDEA 14 >> doesn't seem to be able to see the history: >> >> If I right click on a file and do "GIT->Show History" I only see a single >> entry: >> >> * 2c97a68 2016-01-23 | Revert "LUCENE-6937: moving trunk from SVN to >> GIT."
