I would advise against this for two reasons: - git does not track renames, contrart to Mercurial, so every log/diff command needs to analyse files to determine if something was moved rather than deleted + created; the matching can change depending on a command-line param, and git log needs a --follow option. - github does not apply --follow, so history for moved files is not useful: https://github.com/idomic/cpython/commits/bpo-10572-testlibs/Lib/test/tkinter_test/test_tkinter/test_widgets.py (for some reason, annotate works: https://github.com/idomic/cpython/blame/bpo-10572-testlibs/Lib/test/tkinter_test/test_tkinter/test_widgets.py )
