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.
