Vim Aware File Management?

Vim keeps all kinds of info. about how you are editing a file. That
is, the undo history, bookmarks, content of registers, etc. -- are
kept in .viminfo. Under what conditions, is vim aware of your
management of the file itself - for instance, that you have moved,
renamed, or deleted a previously edited file?

If you use a vim file manager like netrw, or manage files with a :!
command -- will filename information be updated in viminfo? Obviously,
vim will not be aware of what you do in a shell, when it is not
running or suspended.

In principle, vim could be aware of file manipulations, when you open
a (sub)shell with :shell <ENTER>. But I doubt that it tracts such
operations.
