> Git does track when files are renamed, created and deleted

Actually, no, it doesn't. Git tracks just the before/after state: before the commit these files existed, after the commit those files existed. It infers creation/deletion/rename, when necessary, by comparing these two (or more) states.

Yeah it's not track it is infers

Which doesn't always work. Not that it matters.
