on lwn there is a comment (under the GNOME survey topic)

The Shlomi Fish "Better SCM" site for example is very clear that Git won't
do a merge across a rename. It even has a citation for this claim. But as
a Git user who has actually done a merge across a rename I know it works
just fine, and anyone familiar with Git's internals will guess immediately
why. Yet probably there is no line of documentation on the Git site or
elsewhere that I can quote to justify adding a "Yes" to the comparison.
sounds like a missing piece of documentation that someone should be able
to fill in fairly easily.
