If you give git format-patch the -M switch it will generate a 4 line 
"file move" annotation and will not include the full remove-and-add
patch. It will not work with old versions of patch but we all use
"git am" so you are safe.

Because we never got the 2/4 patch. It was probably too big.

I set my git tree to do the -M by default it's a git config something
something check it out.
