In git, merely the content is stored. The decision of whether to
render a change as diff or removal+addition (or copy+diff) lies
with the client invoking the diff (log -p, …) command and is done
every time anew.

You might have luck using git diff -M40% or even smaller numbers.

PS: This is one of the reasons git is not a version control system.
    Torvalds himself calls it a “stupid content tracker”.
