git - some renamed files seen as deleted and new

[jarofromel]

How to rename existing files to keep their history in the git ? I know the vc-rename-files is supported but I don't know the way I should use it or force its usage in denote.

Context:
I keep my notes under git. I usually use denote-rename-file-using-front-matter to rename the notes. I know git sometimes recognize the renamed files as deleted and new but I am to lazy to jump to terminal and use git rename. I noticed this article git rename, courtesy of dired and thought I would nice to have something similar in denote. Then I found f2ff5ef which supports use of vc-rename-file.

You just need to ensure Denote saves all buffers (because only saved files can be tracked). Use the following:

(setq denote-save-buffers t)

Thanks a lot for the advice.
