It doesn't seem like StGIT uses any of git's rename tracking stuff.
Specifically, pushing patches doesn't seem to use rename-aware
merging, and there is no way to tell diff to detect renames and
copies.

They are indeed not supported by StGIT. One of the reasons is that the
push operation would probably take (much) longer (I haven't looked at
the algorithm in detail but some comments in the git-diff
documentation suggest that this is very expensive). Another reason is
that I (used to) send patches to people not using GIT and therefore
renames in the diff output were not welcomed.

Should this perhaps be an item in the TODO list?

Only if it doesn't drastically affect the performance.
