Usually it picks up on renames just fine, but as with git diff -M there is some 
fuzziness in how it determines the difference between a file rename and an 
unrelated delete followed by an add; sometimes the difference is too great for 
git to consider as a rename with its default settings. I just tested, you can 
improve rename detection with git blame by using the -C option though; 
adjusting the -M value might also help.

Cheers,
Paul
