Git history is fractured for documentation files

I was researching the history of some Emacs documentation files. I got
back as far as

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/log/doc/emacs/emacs.texi?ofs=200

which ends with the entry

2007-09-06 Move here from ../../man

which is

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/doc/emacs/emacs.texi?id=8cf51b2c2f18417403f27fdc215f369af887d89b

How would I go back further in time than this to find the previous
revision of the file? I'm sure that revisions earlier than September
2007 are recorded. Doesn't git have some way of deducing when a file
has been renamed?
