if you go for the two-commits version, small intermediate branches (or git-commit-tree) could be used to create a tree like this:
* commit 106eef2
|\ Merge: 436e46f 9395665
| |
| | the main commit
| |
| * commit 9395665
|/
| intermediate move
|
* commit 436e46f
|
| ...
while the first commit (436e46f) has a \"`/subdir/foo → ../.git-annex/where_foo_is`\", the intermediate (9395665) has \"`/subdir/deeper/foo → ../.git-annex/where_foo_is`\", and the inal commit (106eef2) has \"`/subdir/deeper/foo → ../../.git-annex/where_foo_is`\".
`--follow` uses the intermediate commit to find the history, but the intermediate commit would neither show up in `git log --first-parent` nor affect `git diff HEAD^..` & co. (there could still be confusion over `git show`, though).
