[PATCH v8 29/29] merge-recursive: ensure we write updates for directory-renamed file

When a file is present in HEAD before the merge and the other side of the merge does not modify that file, we try to avoid re-writing the file and making it stat-dirty. However, when a file is present in HEAD before the merge and was in a directory that was renamed by the other side of the merge, we have to move the file to a new location and re-write it. Update the code that checks whether we can skip the update to also work in the presence of directory renames.
