This is an urban myth. git does not track renames, ever. Some of the
tools can detect and display things with "rename detection" though.

So the patch was just sent without rename detection, it will make no
difference to the history whatsoever if merged. It can be harder to
review though. Rename detection doesn't always work in the cases of
large delta, the exact threshold can be configured.

Cheers,
