it actually does matter in the following scenario: 1) master branch has identical content.txt files in the folder structure 2) do the git mv in a new branch 3) master branch updated the context.txt to contain new data (more relevant to the containing folder) 4) new branch need to merge the updates from master after the merge, demo/content.txt in the new path would contain updates from dev/content.txt from master...
