Hi,
could you please explain to me why ‘rename from & rename to’ information is
added to git patch?
Here is the patch created by `git format-patch`:
diff --git a/before.txt b/after.txt
similarity index 100%
rename from before.txt
rename to after.txt
Is there any reason why git can’t recognize and apply rename-change which looks
like this:
diff --git a/before.txt b/after.txt
--- a/before.txt
+++ b/after.txt
or even like this:
diff --git a/before.txt b/after.txt
I’m implementing a program (with an IDE) to create patches compatible with Git
and want to have better understanding of the format and possible issues with it.
Thanks a lot in advance.
