The nice thing about git is that it doesn't care one whit how something gets moved. So you can
- just send me a regular patch (as a git user, it can be the "git shorthand" kind of patch that has explicit renames, but it can be a traditional patch with delete/create pairs too, and git won't care AT ALL because the end result is the same)
- or just send me a shell script to do the renames along with a small patch to fix up any other issues that happen as a result of the rename, and a explanation for me to use as a commit message.
Renames in git do not have to be handled as "git" events, unlike many other broken models. Git will do the right thing regardless.
