I don't know exactly how git manages the index internally, but a shortcut for this would be to simply rename the index entry in place.
Seems like the shortcut would lose the history and confuse git. Anyway, Let's say you have a file, A.txt, with contents: A You edit this file so that it has contents: A_dirty You're saying that, currently, 'git-mv A.txt path/B.txt' does this: mv A.txt path/B.txt git add path/B.txt git rm A.txt So that A.txt is indeed moved to path/B.txt, but now A_dirty has been added to the index. What you want to happen is the following: git show HEAD:A.txt > path/B.txt git add path/B.txt mv A.txt B.txt git rm A.txt Is this correct?
