Different status of modifed renamed or moved files in Show log dialog, Check for Modifications dialog and Commit dialog

By gerich.h... on October 08, 2012 10:38 (imported from Google Code)


If you change name of tracked file by your hands and then modify it then this file is shown with rename status in Show Log dialog and you can see it's diff.
In Check for Modifications or Commit dialog this change is shown as separate Delete and Add/Untracked(until you'll add it) file operations.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Rename tracked using from Windows Explorer (press F2 and enter filename) or using IDE (for example Visual Studio).
    or
    Move tracked file using Windows Explorer or using IDE (for example Visual Studio).
  2. Open Renamed/Moved file in some editor and add modify it.
  3. Open Show Log dialog
  4. Verify file status
  5. Open Commit dialog
  6. Verify file status
  7. Open Check for Modifications dialog
  8. Verify file status

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected:
file should be recognized as Moved/Renamed in every dialog. Diff command should be available for a file in every dialog and should show your modifications.
Actual:
This works only in Show Log dialog. Other dialogs show your change as a separate Remove and Add/Untracked operations.

What version of TortoiseGit and msysgit are you using? On
what operating system?
TortoiseGit 1.7.13.0
msysgit 1.7.11
Windows 7 Ultimate
