I have a repository containing some files which have undergone some arbitrary copies/movies in the past, such that you need 'git log --follow' to view all the relevant history for those files. I'd like to use something like 'git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter ...' to extract a parent directory of these files. However, just doing that drops the "extra" history that you need --follow to find.
How can I save it? I've put full steps to reproduce my problem at http://pastebin.com/8L2fWjAp. After carrying out those steps, it's also possible to use gitk to see that there are only two commits on the master branch at all, and it's not just that git log isn't finding the history. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
