How about history tracking for file renames doesn't work well? It's hit and miss if git blame --follow works.
Subversion did this better even before Git existed.
Git is completely oblivious to moving code from one file to another. Git blame will never show you the original commit if you just relocated a method to another file. Due to this, refactoring often put additional hurdles into exploring the code history.
