Feature Request: git mv --after (new flag)

This is a request to add an –after mode to git mv command to explicitly mark a filesystem rename after it has occurred (analogous to mercurial => hg mv –after).

This would allow IDE/Language refactor renames/moves and would make sure git still detects the moves correctly for keeping the correct commit history.

If this has already been requested and I missed, please reply this with the original request and consider this closed.

If anything else is required please let me know since this is my first interaction with this tracker. Thank you for this incredible tool!
