The _right_ answer is "if one person moves a function, and another person modifies the function, the changes should be applied to the moved function". Which is clearly a _much_ more common case than file renames. In other words, if your algorithm doesn't handle the latter, then there is no point in handling the former either. And _if_ your algorithm handles the latter, then there's no point in handling file renames specially, since the algorithm will have done that too, as a small part of it.
