This is a bug in git log --follow, not a reason to completely redesign the repo.

FWIW, I previously tracked the bug down to the fact that it doesn't track file renames that happen during a merge commit, which is what subtree merge produces. I don't have the time or knowledge required to fix it.

Have fun,
