if you move two identical {e.g.: empty} files to two new locations in a single commit, the move detection picks them {seemingly?} arbitrarily. it should use a statistical algorithm to compare the filenames and pick a likely match.

my apologies in advance if this isnt the right venue or is improperly formatted, or if this is extraneous noise, or widely known, etc.
