Ahh. I've never used stg. It seems to have some bad defaults.

Also, depending on exactly what "stg" does, it is entirely possible that 
adding that

	[diff]
		renames

to your .gitconfig won't help: those kinds of default configuration values 
are (very much on purpose) ignored for certain low-level git commands, 
exactly so that you can do reliable scripting without having to worry 
about some user-specific config files.

Those come from "--summary", which summarizes file creation, deletion and 
movement. Almost always combined with "--stat", but apparently the 
"--stat" part is again in that "stg mail" script.
