I've tried the above approach, and then run:

        git blame build/virtual-target.jam

and it kinda works (it still has v2/build/virtual-target.jam as the filename). Then I've tried this:

        $ git log build/virtual-target.jam
        commit 929cb2aa0fe7107a77104f6d2e059ab1cb9a51cb

                     Experiment with renaming 'v2' directory

And that's the only log entry. See also:

I am doing something wrong?
