The nice thing about git is that it doesn't care one whit how something
gets moved. So you can

- just send me a regular patch (as a git user, it can be the "git
shorthand" kind of patch that has explicit renames, but it can be a
traditional patch with delete/create pairs too, and git won't care AT
ALL because the end result is the same)

- or just send me a shell script to do the renames along with a small
patch to fix up any other issues that happen as a result of the rename,
and a explanation for me to use as a commit message.

Renames in git do not have to be handled as "git" events, unlike many
other broken models. Git will do the right thing regardless.
