Refactor/move package not doing git mv Follow

Created August 05, 2013 12:37

I've just noticed that doing a Refactor->Move class or rename package doesn't seem to be doing a git mv of the files, so history is getting lost.

Could this be an issue with how I've done the move, or a bug/feature defecit?

There isn't really a "move" in git.

Doh! guess I'm used to using git mv short hand on the command line. IntelliJ seems to follows the log history back over renames too

Thanks
