Summary: Xcode fails to heed full logging history on assets in a git repo that have been moved. This makes SCM within Xcode of limited use. Steps to Reproduce: Enact a git repo. Make some commits against a particular file. Compare it against prior revs using the Versions editor mode of Xcode. Move the file to a different directory (e.g. using git mv, SourceTree, etc.). Commit the new changes. Pull the latest rev on another system, open up in Xcode. Compare it against prior revs using the Versions editor. Expected Results: All history visible in the revision pop-up menu and in Log mode. Actual Results: Only the most recent commit is shown.
