"git log --follow" is not the best part of Git :-( (especially
compared to "git blame", which is excellent at following the history
of lines of code).
There were some discussion already on --follow having bad behavior on
merge commit, like:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/151502/focus=151664
But no one is really investing energy to make "git log --follow" what
it should really be, AFAIK.

Your converter cannot have "mis-imported" renames, since renames do
not appear in the repository with Git.
