It’s confusing right up until it isn’t. If you rename a file, and edit it then it is helpful to understand that whether that is shown as a creation and a deletion or as a rename plus an edit is immaterial to some parts of git, and yet very important to others, and can change if you squash or rebase.
Git’s abstractions are pretty leaky.
