Wording might be a bit unfortunate here, as I initially wanted to write 
something else - could be this is more understandable:

Git has "rename detection", where if one file is deleted, but another file

Git will see that as a rename, and act accordingly, possibly later trying 
to merge two files, as you experienced.
