Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this: 'git [...] -- [...]' ˋˋˋ But if I checkout to the commit before renaming then this command works: git log 9ce3e165f284d55503eff9b627ef3723854c53bb^ -- lib/Invoice/Schema/Result/Company.pm I beleive it would be much handy if git checks the file after analizing of the commit 9ce3e165f284d55503eff9b627ef3723854c53bb^ Thanks -- Best regards, Eugen Konkov ``` ## Jeff King, 2023-04-06 03:59 Subject: Re: Can see log for a renamed file Message-ID: <20230406035953.GB2092667@coredump.intra.peff.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20230406035953.GB2092667%40coredump.intra.peff.net In-Reply-To: <909508822.20230405191602@yandex.ru> ``` On Wed, Apr 05, 2023 at 07:16:02PM -0400, Eugen Konkov wrote: > Hello, folks. > > ˋˋˋ > git log 9ce3e165f284d55503eff9b627ef3723854c53bb^ -- lib/Invoice/Schema/Result/Company.pm > fatal: ambiguous argument 'lib/Invoice/Schema/Result/Company.pm': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. > Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this: > 'git [...] -- [...]' > ˋˋˋ Are you sure you've cut and paste accurately here? You _do_ have a "--" in the command you showed, so it should not print the "ambiguous argument" error. It should behave exactly as you're expecting (accepting the path as-is). If that is what you typed, then something very funny is going on in your Git build, where it is ignoring some arguments. Is "git" a wrapper script or something? -Peff ```
