Yes.  git fails at this often since it's notion of a copy is "implicit guess" that you
can't override vs "explicit action".  I sometimes have to do fixups after an 'arc patch'
of a diff that git mangles where I save off a copy of the .c file, svn revert -f the
file, then svn add the new file so it shows up as a new file from scratch.
