But the log or whatchanged\ncommands doesn't gets me the history of changes with resepect to the\nfiles added. Now i remember this is in a way simillar to gitweb\nhistory not shown. But then using the --full-history option with git\nlog also doesn't show the details of history with respect to the\nfiles.\n\nThis is what i did\n\ngit fetch ./test2/\ngit read-tree --prefix=test2/ $(cat test2/.git/refs/heads/master)\n\nNow if i look at .git/objects/ I can see commit objects with respect\nto changes for test2/a\n\n-aneesh\n"}]}
