How would I do a git log --follow #893

I'm trying to find out the log history for specific files. Git does this well with git log --follow . How can I pull off the same with lib2gitsharp. I've just looking into the code as well and trying to find the extension point. If someone knows exactly where it is I'd be more than happy to add this in, test it and send a PR.

Thanks

Duplicate #89, libgit2/libgit2#495, libgit2/libgit2#2217, not supported by libgit2 yet.

By the way, you will find my implementation on my project (https://github.com/Aimeast/GitCandy/blob/dev/GitCandy/Git/LastCommitAccessor.cs#L39-L77)

log --follow is a very special bolted-on case, and I don't know if libgit2 will ever support it, but every piece you need is there. The log example command and libgit2/libgit2#1965 show how you go about ignoring those commits which don't touch a path. The --follow simply switches the path when you detect a rename.

This commit basically implements the git log --follow command. To do that, it
implements the FileHistory, FileHistoryEntry, and FileHistoryExtensions classes.
The associated FileHistoryFixture implements a number of tests, covering the
essential cases (e.g., following renames, dealing with branches).

Implement git log --follow
c462df3 
This commit basically implements the git log --follow <path> command. It adds
the following two methods to the IQueryableCommitLog interface:

IEnumerable<LogEntry> QueryBy(string path);
IEnumerable<LogEntry> QueryBy(string path, FollowFilter filter);

The corresponding implementations are added to the CommitLog class. The actual
functionality is implemented by the FileHistory class that is part of the
LibGit2Sharp.Core namespace.

Using libgit2, there is no battle-proven way to follow the history of a
file through renames, see also:
libgit2/libgit2sharp#893

Consequently, we are removing libgit2 as a dependency and instead rely
on the git binary, calling it in a subprocess.

Another change in this commit is switching from `(c) Copyright` to
`Copyright (c)`.
