Subject: Git history is fractured for documentation files
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2015 22:00:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKPWYQ2zOzc=KDAsXbbgJ5Ckae6Or_3s_41M5+4u0ghC2GXf1w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I was researching the history of some Emacs documentation files. I got
back as far as
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/log/doc/emacs/emacs.texi?ofs=200
which ends with the entry
2007-09-06 Move here from ../../man
which is
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/doc/emacs/emacs.texi?id=8cf51b2c2f18417403f27fdc215f369af887d89b
How would I go back further in time than this to find the previous
revision of the file? I'm sure that revisions earlier than September
2007 are recorded. Doesn't git have some way of deducing when a file
has been renamed?
