I've made commit with big changes in a file and renamed file.
Git correctly shows me changes in the file:
git log --name-status
R050
and:
git show <commit-id>
similarity index 50%
But after pushing changes to Gerrit (code review):
git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master
Gerrit shows that one file is deleted and other added. It makes code review more difficult (you can't see only changes).
When I made commit with minor changes (for example similarity index 98%) or without renaming file, Gerrit shows changes correctly (as well as Git).
Question: How to change configure similarity index threshold (for renamed files) on Gerrit?
AFAIK Gerrit doesn't have any way to change similarity index threshold (as Git diff "-M" parameter does). I think the best way to workaround this issue is spliting your change in two changes, just rename in the first commit and then do the changes in the second one.
