[Bug 1552620] [NEW] Detecting renamed files

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 dev with git-gui 1:2.7.0-1 and if a file in an
existing project gets renamed the "Changes" fields will show them as a
deleted and a newly added file. It would be useful if they would be
shown as a renamed file instead which would be especially useful if the
renamed file contains also changes which could be shown as a diff.

** Affects: git (Ubuntu)
