Hi
I have found what I suspect to be a bug, or at least not desirable behavior in
my case. In one branch, I have moved all files in a directory to another
directory. The first directory is now empty in this branch (I haven't tested
whether this is significant). I cherry-picked the commit to another branch that
has additional files in the first directory. All the files in the first
directory are now moved to the second directory, and not just the files that
were moved in the original commit. It happens in Git for Windows, versions
2.20.1 and 2.21.0.
It can be reproduced using these steps:
$ git init
$ mkdir a
$ echo Hello > a/file1
$ git add a/file1
$ git commit -m 'Add file1'
$ git checkout -b fix
$ mkdir b
$ git mv a/file1 b
$ git commit -m 'Move file1 to b'
$ git checkout master
$ echo Bye > a/file2
$ git add a/file2
$ git commit -m 'Add file2'
$ git cherry-pick fix
[master 5b63afb] Move file1 to b
