Tig: allow tig to "follow" renamed files

Created on 9 Jan 2015  路  2Comments  路  Source: jonas/tig

Is it possible to have tig "follow" history of renamed files.. Specifically if I run _git log --oneline --follow renamed_file.txt_ then I am able to see all the history of that file. If I just run tig renamed_file.txt then I don't see it. My suggestion would be to add a mode to tig (just like git log) that allows history to be followed: _tig --follow_

Is this possible already? Did I miss it somewhere.

Thanks,
Dusty

Indeed, options are passed to git, so tig --follow renamed_file.txt will work as expected.

you are right!! wow.. some programs allow you to specify arguments anywhere on the line and so I was mistakenly running it this way: tig renamed_file.txt --follow. It works if you put --follow first.

Thanks
