Thanks. You very well said exactly what I should have said; I failed to explain where that `reusing rename information from previous merge` algorithm should fit in the bigger picture. And the algorithm you describe (and Daniel briefly outlined) is slightly different from what I had in mind in that it does not have to depend on previous merge, which is also nice. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
