Support movement of files in Git

Followup from TS019921735, TS016610424 and HD-6863.

Background: Our users use Manta to scan SAS code or IFPC files stored in various Git repositories to build lineage. This is very convenient because we can block access to users to the backend (because backend access would allow users to stort/stop manta, modify binaries, and break many enterprise security policies)

This works well except if files are renamed or are reorganized in teh git repository. For example is a file foo/bar.sas is renamed to PROD/foo/bar.sas then when the workflow is rerun, Manta will not delete  foo/bar.sas and instead add PROD/foo/bar.sas. Similarly if foo/bar.sas is deleted, Manta will not notice this.

This issue happens because in a commention, there is no option to wipe out the contents of the input dir before ingestion/extraction is run.

In our ideal state, there would be a checkbox in every connection that, when enabled, will wipe out the contenet of the input DIR when ingestion scenario for this connection is run.

    Hi Jakub:

    Below details are from TS019921735, hope this will help. Here you will get the connection and workflow details in Manta DEV environment.

    Issue:
    When some SAS script/file is moved from one source directory to another, Manta is unable to track its movement and represent its correct path in the lineage.

    Steps followed:
    1. Scan a git repo, folder path -> sas-grid/source-sas-files/sas-repo-v1/.
    Refer artifacts in Manta Dev
    connection: sas-file-movement-behaviour-check
    Workflow: wf-sas-file-movement-behaviour-check

    2. Move file sas-grid/source-sas-files/sas-repo-v1/sub-dir1-v1/sub-dir2-v1/sub-dir3-v1/KW_031323.sas to sas-grid/source-sas-files/sas-repo-v1/sub-dir1-v1/KW_031323.sas in the git repo.

    3. Rescan the git repo, folder path -> sas-grid/source-sas-files/sas-repo-v1/.

    Expectation:
    The expectation is that Manta lineage will show the correct path (updated path) after re-scan.

    Actual result:
    Instead of moving, the file has been copied to the destination folder(Here sub-dir1-v1) from source folder (sub-dir1-v1) (refer revision no. 1537.917 in Manta dev)

    Hi Devayon, as aked during the call, could you please provide the definition of the workflow for which you are observing this problem?

    Thank you, Jakub
