git doesn't explicitly record moves; it just recognises moves if you
tell it to look for them (e.g. 'git diff -M' and 'git log --follow').

'git mv' is essentially shorthand for mv && git add && git rm.  And
specifying the old or new path on the 'git commit' line is redundant,
because the changes are already in the index.
