What's more, you can in fact do: git mv foo-1.ebuild foo-2.ebuild git commit and you can still easily tell git to show that as a difference in a log. Example script to emulate this and example output: https://gist.github.com/kentfredric/10e93e9aac875e9edb93 ( In fact, you don't even have to use 'git mv', as long as you change the tree state completely, git is smart enough to track most changes ) -- Kent *KENTNL* - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
