From: Phil Susi Date: Thu, 09 Jul 2015 20:44:35 GMT Subject: Merge after rename Message-ID: <559EDD33.50906@ubuntu.com> I'm trying to cherry pick an old change from an old branch onto the current master, and since the old change, the directory structure was altered and the modified files were moved. Instead of detecting the new location of the file and applying the changes to it, git is re-adding the old file at the old location in its entirety. How can I get it to correctly notice the rename and merge the changes in at the file's new location?
