How to keep log history when renaming and changing simultaneously

Sometimes I need to rename and change a file in one commit. One example would be a file foo.h that begins with

    #ifndef FOO_H
    #define FOO_H

which should be renamed bar.h and have the FOO_H changed to BAR_H. In subversion I would

    svn mv foo.h bar.h; vi bar.h; svn ci

and then a

    svn log bar.h

also shows the history of that file when it was named foo.h.

This does not work in git.  After committing,

    git mv foo.h bar.h; vi bar.h; git commit -a

the command

    git log --follow bar.h

shows only the history of the file when it was named bar.h, but not its life as foo.h.

The only workaround I found was to do the rename and the change in two separate commits, so that git sees the same name and the same SHA hash which allows it to follow the files' history. This can be a problem when the intermediate version with either only the change or only the rename doesn't compile correctly.

Is there a better way to do this in git?

A similar problem is splitting a file into two files. With subversion I'd do

    printf "void foo() {}\nint main() { foo(); }\n" > prog.c
    svn add prog.c; svn ci -m "Add prog.c"

Then I would split

    svn cp prog.c foo.c; svn cp prog.c main.c; svn rm prog.c
    printf "2d\nwq\n" | ed foo.c; printf "1d\nwq\n" | ed main.c
    svn ci -m "Split prog.c"; svn up

and I get

    $ svn log -v
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Changed paths:
       A /foo.c (from /prog.c:1)
       A /main.c (from /prog.c:1)
       D /prog.c
    
    Split prog.c

    r1 | urs | 2017-04-17 10:02:51 +0200 (Mon, 17 Apr 2017) | 1 line
    Changed paths:
       A /prog.c
    
    Add prog.c
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

And I can also see this when I run svn log on one of both files. How could I do this in git?
