The "--follow" flag will follow renames when doing a log, so a simple git log --follow arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c will do it. [ Although I actually introduced a bug in that last week, so if it gives empty output for you, add a "--stat" to get a diffstat (or "-p" to get the whole patch) to work around a stupid mistake. That bug is in both 1.5.3.3 and 1.5.3.4 - and Junio happens to be away for two weeks, so it's not fixed in any release yet. I have a trivial patch for it if you care, but the "use -p" workaround is usually what you want to do anyway, which is probably why nobody even noticed it was broken! ] Linus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
