I don't see why not. If you tell the diff engine to look for content 
moves, and you tell it to descend into submodules that you have, and you 
have both ends of the content move, and you're looking at a supermodule 
commit where such a content move happened, it should show it.

If any of these aren't true (and I don't think we have a "descend into 
available submodules" option currently), you won't see it as a content 
move, but you wouldn't expect to; you don't want to get a diff that says: 
"move from (path you don't have) to (path you have)", with the diff 
showing changes in the process, when you didn't have the original.
