Subject: diff-filter can't identify renaming if not done directly

Hello,
quick question about using diff-filter in linux. In the scenario
that in my repository, I first copy file1 to file2, then move file2 to
file3 and delete file1, "git diff" returns:
diff --git a/file1 b/file3
similarity index 100%
rename from file1
rename to file3
but running "git diff --diff-filter=r" doesn't return anything. Only
flag "t" will return the change. Can this be considered as a bug?
