Yes. (Followed by some edits, and a commit of the copied-and-modified file)

Under normal git usage, yes. (Followed by some edits, and an add and a commit 
of the copied-and-modified file)

SVN tells me:
   D /head/net/kdav
   M /head/net/kf5-kcalendarcore/distinfo
   M /head/net/kf5-kcontacts/distinfo
   A /head/net/kf5-kdav (from /head/net/kdav:542760)
   M /head/net/kf5-kdav/Makefile
   M /head/net/kf5-kdav/distinfo

git tells me:
 delete mode 100644 net/kdav/distinfo
 rename net/{kdav => kf5-kdav}/Makefile (82%)
 create mode 100644 net/kf5-kdav/distinfo
 rename net/{kdav => kf5-kdav}/pkg-plist (92%)

Both of these bits of output are from the command-line tools, which don't 
necessarily reflect all the internal administration. SVN lists A(dd) 
separately from M(odification), git tells you how much was changed.

I have an alias in my ~/.gitconfig,
	flog = log --follow --name-status
which gives far more svn-like log output. So I'm regularly flogging git, make 
of that what you will :)

PS. I admire your determination to keep understanding history for freshports 
as well as is possible. You may want to talk to the people at Bitergia, or 
Jesus Barahona at the University Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid: they have been 
doing understanding-Open-Source-history for longer than I have (and unlike me, 
kept at it for the past 15+ years). So if anyone has a good handle on chasing 
history through git and other VCS, it would be them.
