file history to include --follow in order to show renames

23 votes

When I use the gk cli or even git cli and use git log --oneline -- <filename> I see commits even before a folder rename but when I use file history in the gk gui it only shows that the folder was renamed and doesn't show those previous commits.

I would expect to have to use the --follow flag on either of the cli's but I don't seem to need that.

Yes, this is a problem I also have, when you restructure legacy code.

This is a must have, it should be added as a check mark to use the --follow option in the Preferences somewhere...
