Note that git does not store that files are renamed. So a remove + add
is the same as a rename in git. Only git status shows it when you for
example use git mv directly, but this information is lost on commit.
Are you sure about the last sentence? I do not recall teaching
anything special to "git status". If "git status" says A was
created by renaming B, and if you committed that state was-is, "git
show" on the result commit _should_ say the same thing, I would
think.
Yes, of course, you are right. Git status also detects a file being
renamed instead of relying on it being recorded.

Instead of storing it get relies on detecting what (parts of ) files got
renamed, copied etc.
That statement I belieave is true.
Why are you reserved here?
