The "git log" "follow renames" logic isn't the same as conceptually related merge logic.
I think there are unfortunately still cases where what the GP is suggesting improves the UX, i.e. I think some shortcuts are taken when following a file if the content doesn't change.
IIRC this matters particularly for very large renames, at some point during revision walking we'll give up trying to match your A.txt to B.txt, but if they're the same...
