Will you at least be able to see what guess git made before you commit?
yes, it will tell you that it thinks you are copying a file, however that information is not actually recorded, but recalculated each time you read the log, therefore if the algorithm to detect copies is changed later, that change will apply to copies made in the past.
Although I'm not sure what you're supposed to do if you see that git guess wrong if you say that the only way to override the guess is to rewrite git...
right, i don't think you can do anything. but i think this whole case is rather unusual, can you construct an example where a problem would arise if the wrong copy is picked?
