What you want to happen is the following:

Is this correct?

Here you're copying the content of A.txt as it was in the last (HEAD) commit, but from what the poster said he wants the content of A.txt as it is staged in the index (that is, there may be staged but uncomitted changes).

Better:

 	mv A.txt path/B.txt
	Point the index entry for A.txt to path/B.txt

Yes, that is basically what he was asking for, as I read it.

You're right.

There is the subtlety in the first case that he's already staged something.
