Comment on Git is Not a New Subversionparent

Comments

Moving a block of code within a file is just a delete+insert as well. I don't think git differentiates between moving something within a file and moving it between files the way other systems do, but as far as I know there aren't any systems that actually understand and track refactorings rather than tracking diffs.
