Neither CVS nor GIT track renames.  The GIT merge tools have
heuristics to discover renames after the fact and deal with them.
This makes importing projects into GIT much easier than with other
systems.

Do you plan to run the GIT daemon?  Those of us who already downloaded
the entire history could use git-clone --reference for the final
download, to avoid retransmitting all the (compressed and delta'd)
fulltexts.
