use custom rename score during --follow
If you provide a custom rename score on the command line,
like:
git log -M50 --follow foo.c
it is completely ignored, and there is no way to --follow
with a looser rename score. Instead, let's use the same
rename score that will be used for generating diffs. This is
convenient, and mirrors what we do with the break-score.
You can see an example of it being useful in git.git:
$ git log --oneline --summary --follow \
Documentation/technical/api-string-list.txt
86d4b52 string-list: Add API to remove an item from an unsorted list
1d2f80f string_list: Fix argument order for string_list_append
e242148 string-list: add unsorted_string_list_lookup()
0dda1d1 Fix two leftovers from path_list->string_list
c455c87 Rename path_list to string_list
create mode 100644 Documentation/technical/api-string-list.txt
$ git log --oneline --summary -M40 --follow \
Documentation/technical/api-string-list.txt
86d4b52 string-list: Add API to remove an item from an unsorted list
1d2f80f string_list: Fix argument order for string_list_append
e242148 string-list: add unsorted_string_list_lookup()
0dda1d1 Fix two leftovers from path_list->string_list
c455c87 Rename path_list to string_list
rename Documentation/technical/{api-path-list.txt => api-string-list.txt} (47%)
328a475 path-list documentation: document all functions and data structures
530e741 Start preparing the API documents.
create mode 100644 Documentation/technical/api-path-list.txt
You could have two separate rename scores, one for following
and one for diff. But almost nobody is going to want that,
and it would just be unnecessarily confusing. Besides which,
we re-use the diff results from try_to_follow_renames for
the actual diff output, which means having them as separate
scores is actively wrong. E.g., with the current code, you
get:
$ git log --oneline --diff-filter=R --name-status \
-M90 --follow git.spec.in
27dedf0 GIT 0.99.9j aka 1.0rc3
R084 git-core.spec.in git.spec.in
f85639c Rename the RPM from "git" to "git-core"
R098 git.spec.in git-core.spec.in
The first one should not be considered a rename by the -M
score we gave, but we print it anyway, since we blindly
re-use the diff information from the follow (which uses the
default score). So this could also be considered simply a
bug-fix, as with the current code "-M" is completely ignored
when using "--follow".
