Rename/copy is simply about what files to use when comparing between two trees. If you are tracking file F and find that a commit created that file by renaming what was originally G, then you compare old G and this F and assign blame for common lines to the ancestor of that commit (that had those lines in G), and take responsibility of the rest yourself (or assign blame for them to other parents). Rewrite is easier. If diff-tree -B says it is a complete rewrite, instead of assigning blame for lines that you are the current suspect to any of your parents, you take blame for all of them yourself, without comparing the file with the parent to assign blame line-by-line. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
