That's not rename detection then though.
I know git is clever and has potential to be able to do rename detection
even when it was rename-and-modify. For me though, I always like to
make the job of the VCS easier by doing the rename in a separate commit
from the modify.
I'd really like it if git would deal with the easy, 100% rename case,
even if it didn't deal with the
rename-two-files-to-be-one-file-and-modify-the-result case.
