I was wondering if there was a way to ensure that git tracks renames properly (or maybe its reporting them properly).

I did some git-mv and got the following:

the problem is git seems confused about what file was associated with its source.

For example: .../mpc8541cds => freescale/mpc8555cds}/init.S

thanks
