The problem with that scenario is that usually it doesn't support a real-world-scenario where you do a rename in the tool (like some IDE) and it doesn't do the corresponding git operation.

(yes, some IDE might have git integration, but personally I don't like my IDE messing with git, except read-only (annotate, diff))

That’s… nothing special. If you don’t have Git integration in your IDE, you already have to do something like `git mv` or a `git add` and `git rm`. Nothing has changed in this new hypothetical world.
