If you set git diff's "renames" option, (i.e., globally): git config --global diff.renames true then "git diff", format-patch, etc. output is much more readable, i.e., it excludes the "remove-entire-file" then "add-same-contents" diff output. Instead it just prints something like this: diff --git a/old b/new similarity index 100% rename from old rename to new
