"Can I move a file or directory with git without having the history becoming disconnected (i.e have to use --follow)?"

Because of the way git stores files, this isn't really possible. One workaround is to use filter-branch to rewrite history to make it look like the file was never moved. However, you'd have to be careful and ensure that no one pushes the pre-filtered history to the repo after it has changed.
