I want to migrate some legacy java code to scala whilst keeping git history intact for each file. The idea was to do a very basic conversion first, just doing ssyntactical changes first and have git mark it only as a rename and go from there.
But already the basic syntax changes push git over the similarity edge, so now II have a deleted file, and a new file. My understanding is then that I basically loose history as I don't see the full history of the "new" file. `git log --follow <file>` doesn't work. Can I mark file changes manually as a rename? Are there different approaches? Cheers, Oliver -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
