I'm refactoring a library including renaming both files and
directories.  A few lines of each file are also changed, but they are
substantially unchanged in content.  I've done a git add to put all my
changes into the index, but a git status shows that git only detected
a few of the renames... most of them are delete-add operations.  Is
there anything I can do to help git recognize the rename so that
history is preserved across this commit?

Thanks.
