>> "git mv" usually works for me. Sometimes when I forgot to do "git mv" at first. I usually end up doing "git add" for the rename files and then "git mv" to remove the old git file paths. And then git will still recognize the renaming without a problem.<br>

Did you make changes (including formatting) first to those files before doing "git mv"?<br>

I did the git mv first, then made the changes. Would it have been better to do it the other way around? I think that should be relatively easy to change as I have a patch file that will just apply the changes to the directory, then I can do the git mv . Preferences?</blockquote>
