Consider the --detect-renamed option provided by the maintained patch "detect-renamed.diff". It will find moved files that match exactly according to the "quick check" in effect (size + mtime or checksum). It doesn't calculate name similarity like --fuzzy because that would be prohibitively expensive in the current implementation. -- Matt -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
