Let's consider following scenario:

 VCT stands for version control tool of choice)

At this point, I expect the tree to look like this:
A$ ls -R

data/
data:
hello.txt
A$ cat data/hello.txt
Hello World!

Oh, and there is one more complicated case, that I also require to work
and that works in Bzr, but did not work in Arch:

...let's start with the tree at the end of previous example...

A$ VCT mv data greetings
A$ VCT commit -m "Renamed the data directory to greetings"
B$ echo "Goodbye World!" > data/goodbye.txt
B$ VCT add data/goodbye.txt
B$ VCT commit -m "Added goodbye message."
A$ VCT merge B
(slightly corrected example).

A$ git branch B
A$ git mv data greetings
A$ git commit -a -m "Renamed the data directory to greetings"
A$ git checkout B
B$ echo 'Goodbye World!' > data/goodbye.txt
B$ git add data/goodbye.txt
B$ git commit -a -m "Added goodbye message."
B$ git checkout A
A$ git pull . B
Trying really trivial in-index merge...
fatal: Merge requires file-level merging
Nope.

And now I expect to have tree looking like this:

A$ ls -R
.:
greetings/
greetings:
hello.txt
goodbye.txt
So git _fails_ (your expectations) in this case:
A$ ls -R
.:
data  greetings

./data:
goodbye.txt

./greetings:
hello.txt
