I renamed a file in a project, and then did a 'git rm', and 'git add' to update the index and subsequently committed and pushed the changes. Then, on the origin repo, I executed a 'git status' to see what changes were pending. GIT displayed:
# renamed: AllViewController.h -> RootViewController.h
# renamed: AllViewController.m -> RootViewController.m
Huh? It recognized that the content was renamed even though I had only communicated a 'delete' and 'add' operation for the file. Apparently this is because GIT does sha-1 on all content -- allowing it to know when you move content around (even if you don't tell it). Nice!
