I am new user.  Trying to understand git.

I renamed a directory. $ mv dir1 dir2 $ git add dir2 $ git commit -a

It popped up my editor with long list of files that it recognized as 'renamed'. But one file it listed as 'copied' and further down as 'deleted'.

Why this one file out of thousands not recognized as 'renamed' ? Is this a sign of a problem ?

Thanks again for all help.
