Re: git apply vs. renamed files index mismatch

..rename and changes ideally go in separate patches.

IIRC this also helps git to track renames (it can easily compare

It does not help much, and it is frowned upon (at least by well educated
users in git circle) because such a split patch hurts reviewability.
