# Notes: In commit A, directory z got renamed to y. In commit B, directory z
# did NOT get renamed; the directory is still present; instead it is
# considered to have just renamed a subset of paths in directory z
-# elsewhere. Therefore, the directory rename done in commit A to z/
-# applies to z/d and maps it to y/d.
+# elsewhere. However, this is much like testcase 6b (where commit B
+# moves all the original paths out of z/ but opted to keep d
+# within z/). This makes it hard to judge where d should end up.
#
# It's possible that users would get confused about this, but what
-# should we do instead? Silently leaving at z/d seems just as bad or
-# maybe even worse. Perhaps we could print a big warning about z/d
-# and how we're moving to y/d in this case, but when I started thinking
-# about the ramifications of doing that, I didn't know how to rule out
-# that opening other weird edge and corner cases so I just punted.
+# should we do instead? It's not at all clear to me whether z/d or
+# y/d or something else is a better resolution here, and other cases
+# start getting really tricky, so I just picked one.
