    Description

      Hello,

      first things first - we are extremly happy with your great tools.

      Nevertheless, we found some small enhancement, that would us (as possibly many others as well) ease the way we deal with pull-requests.

      While acting agile and doing some major refactorings (from time to time) we have the need to move many files around (e.g. renaming / restructuring of the package structur in java)
      Those files are untouched / unchanged - just moved!

      It would be very helpful, if those files could be displayed in a different (maybe collapsible) section, eg. in the form of:

      /old/path/of/the/file.ext -> /new/maybe/deeper/path/of/the/file.ext

      There is no need

      • to display the whole content of the old file in red indicating the deletion and
      • later displaying the whole (identical) content of the new file in green indication the insertion.

      This display is super-fine for changes.

      Advantages could be:

      • moved-only just don't distract from reviewing the real changes.
      • faulty move would be more easily detectable when the involved paths are close together

      Thanks for a short reply
