[Feature request] Support "renamed" status for a file that have been moved/renamed via "git mv" about gitu HOT 5 CLOSED

Calling find_similar in diff_staged here did the trick:

diff.find_similar(Some(&mut DiffFindOptions::new().renames(true)))?;

Using git status

I tried to adjust the rendering to match the git status output e.g. renamed old_file -> new_file but my non-existent Rust experience failed me. I couldn't find the responsible code. Any pointers @altsem 😅? also, the misalignment of the columns is super annoying.

Thanks @altsem. I will open a PR shortly

Sorry that I accidentally opened multiple duplicates of this issue. I really don't know how it happened. 🤷 😅
I hope it's easy to remove them.

Np! This is something I've been wanting to get right. Think there's some "move detection" you can configure in libgit2 to make it work. Haven't looked into it too deep.

Cool! 🙌
@z0al this should be the piece of code responsible for formatting those lines:
