Describe the solution you'd like

The e and r don't respect git repo: by renaming something we loose track of file path history. I would like to be able to rename filepath by using git mv (instead of system command) in order to keep track of file renames:

git mv <src_path> <dst_path>

Currently, nvim-tree doesn't provide this feature forcing me to rename file by using git manually.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Running !git mv % <path_no_new_name> is rather clunky...
Running !git -A <path_no_new_name> is rather clunky and not something I want...

Can this functionality be implemented utilising API?

NO.

Additional context

I'ts difficult to easily contribute API feature, cause:

1. The runner is not a generic lua wrapper for git:

• it's hard-wired to run only single git subcommand: status
• quite intricate interally - it's hard to extend
• no docs/comments

3. This repo has no dedicated git wrapper for running & handling git output (there is a dedicated fast libgit2 lua bindings btw)
4. Intent of nvim-tree.git is unclear
