(slightly corrected example).

A$ git branch B
A$ git mv data greetings
A$ git commit -a -m "Renamed the data directory to greetings"
A$ git checkout B
B$ echo 'Goodbye World!' > data/goodbye.txt
B$ git add data/goodbye.txt
B$ git commit -a -m "Added goodbye message."
B$ git checkout A
A$ git pull . B

So git _fails_ (your expectations) in this case:
A$ ls -R
.:
data  greetings

./data:
goodbye.txt

./greetings:
hello.txt
