It's not.

Git _has_ rename support. Look into the code, you'll find some code
whose purpose is to manage renames. And _no_, rename support is not
just a direct consequence of commits being atomic.

Atomic commit help, but if you do nothing else, moving a file and then
trying to merge will fail for example. So, in addition to atomic
commits, you have at least 3 options : explicit file ID (bzr),
recording renames (hg), or detecting renames after-the-fact (git).
