follow file history across renames/etc... #68

s.py

this code has been moved around in the repo a couple of times which makes 
looking up the history via gitiles kind of a pain.  would be nice if there were 
an option like `git log --follow` where you could easily move back along the 
renames.

it doesn't need to fully populate the log by default ... i'd be happy if the 
last link that series was something like:
  Renamed from <old file>
and <old file> was a link to the history at that commit
