+# Things being checked here:
+#   1. dir/subdir/newfile.c does not get pushed into folder/subdir/newsubdir/.
+#      dir/subdir/{a,b,c,d} -> folder/subdir/{a,b,c,d} looks like
+#          dir/ -> folder/,
+#      whereas dir/subdir/e -> folder/subdir/newsubdir/e looks like
+#          dir/subdir/ -> folder/subdir/newsubdir/
+#      and if we note that newfile.c is found in dir/subdir/, we might overlook
+#      the dir/ -> folder/ rule that has more weight.  Older git versions did
+#      this.
+#   2. The code to do trivial directory resolves.  Note that
+#      dir/subdir/unchanged/ is unchanged and can be deleted, and files in the
+#      new folder/subdir/unchanged/ are not needed as a target to any renames.
+#      Thus, in the second collect_merge_info_callback() we can just resolve
+#      these two directories trivially without recursing.)
+#   3. Exercising the codepaths for caching renames and deletes from one cherry
+#      pick and re-applying them in the subsequent one.
