A patch to do so looks like this.
If you know your history did not have any rename, or if you care
only about the history after a large rename that happened some time
ago, "git blame --no-follow $path" can be a way to tell the command
not to bother about them.
When you use -C, the lines that came from the renamed file will
still be found without the whole-file rename detection anyway, and
this is not all that interesting either way, I would think.
