Not in my understanding - I have seen several times people saying it was
inherently impossible, and that git rename tracking was
stupid/unreliable/etc... on this ground. It may have read as "the OP
said it was not possible", which was not what I wanted to say.

I am not denying anyone's right to use what they think is best, that
would be stupid. I was interested in an explanation of something I did
not understand, which Talden explained well I believe :)
