Errr... it _is_ implemented in this patch, although code is not perfect
and has some unnecessary repetitions. But I thought before improving
code would it make sense to do this... and perhaps even add generated
extended diff headers for renames:

  rename at _2_ parent from _git-gui.sh_
  rename to _git-gui/git-gui.sh_

where as before _link_ denotes hyperlinked part. Hmmm?
