The same applies to refactorings unfortunately.

If you make a large but simple refactoring, like renaming a frequently-used function across a large repo, nobody is going to audit that diff and check for extra changes.

Things don't have to be this way, Google's source control systems apparently has tools that can do such refactorings for you in a centralized fashion, and one could make something like that for git.
