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.
