It does; it's part of this rename:

Rename detection was turned on by default in Git v2.0. You can get the original output with:

  git show --stat --no-renames 7b38725318f4517af6168ccbff99060d67aba1c8

Or if you really don't like rename detection, you can disable it in the config, like:

  git config --global diff.renames false
