I’m splitting a several thousand LOC file, which I don’t have previous history in.
Like, maybe I’m just too familiar with git to see the forest for the trees, but what the heck are you doing over there?
Normally copying a file and committing transfers the authorship to you, because the copy just appears from nothing as a brand new file, never known to git. This would prevent browsing the per-line “who changed this last” history past the copy and obfuscate who wrote what and when.
