Uhm, No.
~/xen/qemu-dm# grep ^OBJS xen-hooks.mak
OBJS += piix4acpi.o
OBJS += xenstore.o
OBJS += xen_platform.o
OBJS += xen_machine_fv.o
OBJS += xen_machine_fv.o
OBJS += xen_blktap.o
OBJS += exec-dm.o
OBJS += pci_emulation.o
OBJS += tpm_tis.o
OBJS+= pass-through.o pt-msi.o
OBJS := $(filter-out $(BAD_OBJS), $(OBJS))
That is neither consistent wrt using _ everythere nor all files are
prefixed consistently. At least all prefixed ones use underscores.

To me it looks pretty random, probably depending on the person creating
that file. And when you count them, then there is no clear winner:
~/projects/qemu# find -name "*.[ch]" -print | grep "-" | wc -l
293
~/projects/qemu# find -name "*.[ch]" -print | grep "_" | wc -l
231

git handles renames just fine.

No. The copy is unsafe.
