      It would be nice if SourceTree supported the git rename/move command.

      Presently:

      • The user needs to press terminal and enter "git mv oldname newname"

      Wish:

      • In the file status highlight a file and choose "Rename/move"
      • Highlight more files and choose "Move"

      The "log selected" in SourceTree already support the "follow renamed files" feature, so that is already in place.

      In  SRCTREEWIN-821 it has been mentioned that you can move the file in windows explorer, but then the connection between the new file and the old file is lost. Especially moving files is essential to constantly refining architecture, and therefore important for SourceTree to support.
