No the user is NOT. The fact is, users have not a frigging clue when a rename happens. I told you before, I'll tell you again: if you depend on users telling you about renames, you'll get it wrong. You'll get it wrong quite often, in fact. This is not something I'm going to discuss again. Go back to all the same arguments from 6 months ago. I was right then, I'm right now. Linus
