By the way, while it is fairly easy to follow one file, it is hard

heuristics).

That's not rename detection then though.

I know git is clever and has potential to be able to do rename detection 
even when it was rename-and-modify.  For me though, I always like to 
make the job of the VCS easier by doing the rename in a separate commit 
from the modify.

I'd really like it if git would deal with the easy, 100% rename case, 
even if it didn't deal with the 
rename-two-files-to-be-one-file-and-modify-the-result case.
