Git does not have tracking of file's history either.

Well, it has ways to track file's history, with blame and log, for
example. There is nothing similar for directories, though it could be
possible to do.

It would be not exactly "tracking". You can present the history of
changes which involved the said directory.

And you could do it from day one: git log -- sub/dir

It could be possible to really do tracking, too, like it is possible for
files (including renames, moves, etc.)

You are confused.  Git does not track renames or moves for files,
either.  It just records snapshots.  It reverse engineers renames,
moves, copying when cranking out diffs and logs and blames.

Yes, I know. And that could be done for directories, too.
