What do we do with git? That is something we need to decide. git does not track copies and moves, it only tries to figure it out after the fact. So, we could decide we don't care about history and just copy files around and change them. We could try to help git by creating a short term branch where you first copy the files, commit, then modifiy them, commit, then merge without fast forward. Or we could do something else entirely. --=20 Mathieu Arnold --ob3nznqgqmjkus5b Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAABCgB9FiEEVhwchfRfuV0unqO5KesJApEdfgIFAl710dpfFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDU2 MUMxQzg1RjQ1RkI5NUQyRTlFQTNCOTI5RUIwOTAyOTExRDdFMDIACgkQKesJApEd fgIxkg/+PS/36CarSqLc9w3i/CbKvyJ9ZeBCjRTL9kLUPOovF0Qq3Z37PY7xw+tN OW9mP76+64bJNDkIVYFUpzL1WmzAla8fGU2I4JtgMxKl5d5z6u5rngKNDfr0tLvx lPNNhu/V7kVbT8dkhxIwFCJ0JSl1EYil+p1ABqqJteVxdBcX45vgbrUNr0Cv7Oah fbgUWBEpALbhaTZUX+WlOrHk0csrtEpRGYk0X0K3P2a+xZLis2SPdc73lxnx5cyc 72kfIBWXRoA9OxThAAT67XgF7lhVbHRF4jeRtovXKPG6H+C8TKukWaCBsReOgo3O sMzUi70SLDKPOHBm5KJIKoHSmhBBQr50uDlPcLXFQdSxcmau5+SpmaPaR+P51ePx MtPQCX3J8ZIbBcocuMruzYi6l0KPZlvleJWwApyw0cNVplgTi2lyrTrKuBnDcc8N osWUFALKIsU3tqda/FGzld/w9M9Cqc9+UrMKISJTfGCKnmlFDE7B2hnsXQYoS9Da NaxCKTMlfxg3R4SPHHN6uMjq1PNwJztzmIysmFtciZMzFs9KHByc+BHsrvW9oT7A kt9NYzHD3PsycetskyEdiB3BfSUHlmUTl9+MD4FS6oRcFLXXGJtf+Ttsd64Hhb7z 50pbipE2iza7uRZTzPrAkJSaMoYSYjbg28oaJMPtnjvblrDFb0w= =2gQr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ob3nznqgqmjkus5b--
