Commit history missing for files moved to new modules in git-svn/github

[Chetan Mehrotra <ch...@gmail.com>]

Looks like with svn move/copy the history in git is coming out to be
blank [2]. In svn it looks fine though [1].

Would it be possible to get git history back (via some other tooling
anyone aware of) as it greatly helps in understanding code evolution
while analyzing any issue quickly. Otherwise would need to work with
svn copy where checking history is slow.

For now following command shows history in git. But looks like
Intellij does not support this so its not possible to annotate [3]
file in IDE

git log -C --follow
oak-store-document/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/plugins/document/DocumentNodeStore.java
