Has behavior for `git mv` changed? Last time I investigated, the command was convenience to `git add` after a `mv` with a single command. Git doesn't actually explicitly track renames, it leverages some sort of auto-detection based on file content similarity.
Still good to use the command, just keep in mind git isn't really treating it any different than a normal `mv` followed by `git add`.
