Subject: file rename causes history to disappear
Date: Wednesday, September 6, 2006 - 10:52 am

I moved a bunch of SATA drivers in the Linux kernel from drivers/scsi to 
drivers/ata.

When I tried to look at the past history of a file using 
git-whatchanged, post-rename, it only shows the history from HEAD to the 
point of rename.  Everything prior to the rename is lost.

I also tried git-whatchanged on the old path, but that produces an error.

[jgarzik@pretzel libata-dev]$ rpm -q git-core
git-core-1.4.1-1.fc5

Repository ("upstream" branch):
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git
