Modern tools for digging into code history make the job harder, not
easier, when such changes are made separately, because these changes
mask the true author and date of real changes.  This is especially
problematic when "git log -L" and its variants are unable to do the
job, because of file renaming or code that was moved from one function
to another or from one file to another.
