Re: Git remote helper's fast export options

Hareesh Rajan· Jan 31, 2018, 23:14 UTC · lore

Hi,

I use git remote helper to export/import repository content. Git internally uses fast-export command and it seems like the options to detect move and copy (-M/-C) are not being used. Logging this issue requesting a fix to the remote helper to generate rename and copy commands in the output dump.

Git version: 2.14.1

Thanks, Hareesh

This may have to do with a few changes that happened there recently; see https://public-inbox.org/git/1514112729-31647-1-git-send-email-mark.nauwelaerts@gmail.com/ for a few patches addressing that.
