Documentation for git-log --follow
After vainly searching the Documentation for how to follow renames, I
finally broke down and grepped the source. It would appear that Linus
didn't add write and docs for this feature when he wrote it. The
following patch rectifies that, hopefully sparing future users from
resorting to the source code.
