That's good to hear.
One point which concerns me with is how renaming interacts with merging
-- that's one reason why representing a rename as del+add is problematic.
For instance, if I rename A->B, and then later merge a branch where the
author made a change to A ... what happens? What if I rename A->B, and
then merge a branch where the author renamed A->C and made
changes to C?
Thanks,
