Description Alvaro Sanchez-Leon CLA 2012-04-04 08:27:57 EDT 
The git connector is currently not able to identify moved files, so the change set considers moved files as deletions and additions, this is quite inconvenient as it's not possible to correlate the base and target files for a later compare session.
 
Note that Gerrit is able to correlate moved files so it shall be feasible to do it in the Git connector.

The following references point to the implementation in jgit for the detection of renamed files.
