RE: [PATCH]implement a FIXME for handling moved paths in copyfrom_info_receiver

Sorry Dan.

I misunderstood " /* ### FIXME: Look for moved parents of target_path. */".

My patch's intension is different.

The intension is if you want to get a copy source on '/abc'(which is renamed from /xyz) we will get '/xyz' as copy source path which does not exist on HEAD(due to rename).

Can you elaborate a bit on '/* ### FIXME: Look for moved parents of target_path. */".'?

I have a difficulty in visualising it.

With regards
