git log --follow - option to follow renames

[sanderdekoning]

I'm looking into adding the --follow option to git log. I've come to https://github.com/go-git/go-git/blob/935af59cf64fbe49eb8baba9fe80e6b236daf593/plumbing/object/commit_walker_path.go#L59 where https://github.com/go-git/go-git/blob/935af59cf64fbe49eb8baba9fe80e6b236daf593/plumbing/object/commit_walker_path.go#L112 seems to be one possibility to add such an option. Looking into this further I noticed a few comments regarding v6 - is there any plans already in place to add the --follow renames option for git log, and/or are there any failed attempts?

Are there any news? I am looking for exactly this. Is there a timeline for when we can expect this to be implemented? Or is there any help needed?
