I don't think so, but I'm not sure. It seems to imply that renaming a file without using `lore stage` subcommands will record a delete and an add, meaning that changes made in a branch prior to the rename won't automatically propagate. Git will detect this without using it's own mv command.

No they're saying that it will explicitly record the move, unlike Git which has to guess (it often fails).

Git does record the move, and you don't have to use the git ui to do it. Lore says it requires `lore stage move` to record it. More details in the reply to your other comment.

See my other comment. Git does not record moves.
