So we would not see multi-directory renames?

    "a/b/c/d/foo.c" -> "a/b/something-else/e/foo.c"

could be detected as

    "a/b/{c/d/ => something-else/e}/foo.c"

I assume this patch series is not bringing that to the table. (which is fine, I am just wondering)

return early as the files are in the top level, and apparently we do not support top level renaming?

What about a commit like 81b50f3ce4 (Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory, 2010-02-22) ?

Well that specific commit left many files outside the new builtin dir, but conceptually we could see a directory rename of

    /* => /src/*

We have to compare manually as we'd want to find the first non-equal and there doesn't seem to be a good library function for that.

Assuming many repos are UTF8 (including in their paths), how does this work with display characters longer than one char? It should be fine as we cut at the slash?

How often are we going to see this string-is-equal case? Would it make sense to do that first in the function?

So the first loop is about counting the number of files in each directory that are renamed and the later while loop is about mapping them?

Why do we need to set strdup_strings here (so late in the game, we are about to clear it?) Could we set it earlier?

Or rather have the string list duplicate the strings instead of get_renamed_dir_portion ?
