I always thought that posting "-M" patches to the public lists is
discouraged since it is quite difficult to apply them via patch(1).
Also think of non-git users...

This is still possible by comparing the hashes:
diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/dma.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/dma.c
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..ae5708e
[...]
diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/dma_64.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/dma_64.c
deleted file mode 100644
index ae5708e..0000000
That is, if hashes match then it was pure rename.
Though, too bad git {apply,am} does not produce any warnings if there
are any hidden changes...
