This test shows what I've done:

commit() {
 echo $1 >>$1 && git add $1 && git commit -m $1
}

git init repo
cd repo
commit one
commit two
commit three

git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/newroot
rm *
git rm --cached *
commit four
commit four
commit four
commit four
commit four
commit four
commit five

git checkout master
git merge --no-commit newroot

git mv four four2
commit six
commit four2
commit five

git log --graph --oneline
* 7c4c441 five
* 02a7262 four2
*   6ac2fe0 six

At this point, only git-blame seems correct:

Correct

is missing the deletion in the merge commit.

Log of 'five', which hasn't been renamed, looks ok.
