It is preserved, I double checked that. I also read multiple articles on
the topic, there was a good one, which I can't find anymore...
The points was the ones I wrote - mainly, github web client can't be set to
use --follow which is very unfortunate. And this is how git works. It doesn't
really care about files, rather than content.
But for example, as I mentioned, in my Idea, it does the --follow
automatically, at least I can see the logs just like before. So it depends on
the Git client too.
There are some workarounds, but those actually rewrite the history, which
is a huge NO in my opinion.
