I talked with the git folks a bit about this.  They /do/ track some path 
information.  I can do a 'git log <filename>' and only see commits that 
effect that path.  When a file is moved, there is no reason a path table 
couldn't be updated with the new path location, so that if I do 'git log 
<newname>' it would know to search for <oldname> too.
