You want the --follow flag, too.

Thanks! I missed this guy. By the way it seems that --follow flag
works without -M or -C.

Are those deprecated or I'm missing the difference between three of
them??

BTW, I've had at least 4 people now who got confused by this.  Is
there any use for -M/-C without --follow?  In any case, it will be
very helpful if the -M/-C descriptions said "see also --follow".

Also, is there a way to set this as the default for `git log'?

I guess -M and -C are here because log accepts all options that diff
accepts, in case you run "git log -p". Then, -M and -C control what
diff is displayed to the user.
