That might be, I'm pretty sure you can move files from one folder to another outside git CLI (I know there's specific git command for it as well), and git figures out that file was moved and keeps history intact.

Yes, I think the quote I mentioned refers to empty folders which aren't tracked without some trickery like a gitkeep file or something similar.
