Since you'e a git user, and you're basically renaming files while then
putting a new name in place, can you please send patches done with both
the "-M" flag (rename detection) _and_ the "-B" flag (which breaks
associations of files even if the name stays the same)?
It's rare that this is needed, but it really helps. Now the patches look
like a big delete/create event, and it's not at all obvious that the code
is actually the same before and after.
