I'm seeing this too Yonik :-(  This really sucks.  I googled and found this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27797965/showing-graphically-the-equivalent-of-git-log-follow-in-intellij
Which makes reference to 2 IntelliJ issue tracker bug reports, both marked
as closed years ago.  In summary, Jetbrains says IntelliJ has its own
rename detection algorithm and deliberately doesn't use "--follow" because
it alleges it to be buggy.

What to do?  I'm sure it's controversial to suggest this but... why did we
need this delete all & re-add commits in the first place?  I'm +1 to a
force push to omit them; it will never be easier to do this than now (just
4 branches).  FWIW IntelliJ's algorithm *does* follow SearchComponent.java
from just prior to this to its inception in 2007 -- my go-to test this
feature works.  I tested this by adding a branch based on a hash from just
prior to these commits and then viewing the history of this file (all via
IntelliJ).
