Hi *,

   just curious if this is the expected output. I find this syntax
very usefull but the "a/v1.3.3:" of even without the tree "a/:" a bit
confusing. And I didn't expect the rename from/to neither the
similarity index 0%.

diff --git a/v1.3.3:Makefile b/Makefile
similarity index 0%
rename from v1.3.3:Makefile
rename to Makefile
index b808eca..55d1937 100644
--- a/v1.3.3:Makefile
+++ b/Makefile

Thanks.

Santi

Yes I am aware of this one; I just haven't bothered to deal with
it.

It looks at two strings, "v1.3.3:Makefile" and "Makefile", and
says "they have different names -- they are renamed".

Patches welcome as long as you do not break more usual cases
;-).
