Git *should* be able to track those changes across a rename and even 
with a rename on one branch and changes on another; in my experience it 
works well for filename renames, but git doesn't understand directory 
renames at all, so new files do have to be moved to their new locations 
manually.

I know there has been talk about this on and off for a long time (to get 
all the arch code into arch/).  I don't know if there are any mechanical 
reasons for it, on top of that.
