Summary: git formatted hg diffs can lose copies/renames
Product: SCM Migration
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: Solaris 11/Nevada
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: cdm
AssignedTo: scm-migration-dev at opensolaris.org
ReportedBy: richlowe at richlowe.net
In the case where a file is renamed or copied to the name of a formally present
versioned file, git format diffs lose the rename or copy, and see only a
content change.
This is problematic for backup, as that piece of information will be lost if it
was uncommitted in the working copy at backup time, and will thus not be
restored.
It's fatal for newreci (bug #333), as we will lose that same information at
recommit time.
This is only a problem when a change is transported in the form of a textual
diff, it does not occur in any other situation.
