The trick was to persuade git that I have just moved files from one location to another. I've probably discovered America today, but it still might be helpful to you :)
git does not track moves/renames. unlike some other versioning tools like svn or hg, git does not attach any "identity" to a file.
This is about moving code from place A to place B. How Martin did it made him author of all the code at place B, which I just did not want. The trick was to do it in more steps.
i don't know what "this move has removed all the history from those new files" means, but it's probably about a github's shortcoming.
Well, hasn't "removed the history", you can still see it, but developers usually try `git blame` to find out who and why did something, so it's not just GitHub. And even if so, we use GitHub, so we somehow have to take that into account anyway.
git blame also support --follow, so if you need to find who is author of line after move, then simple you can use `git blame --follow <file>`. So Lukas extra step really helps with finding author of line.
