Should have at least one file like tests/<something>/__driver__.lua .


-    options::opts::bookkeep_only)
+    options::opts::bookkeep_only | options::opts::guess)

Later it looks at app.opts.exclude_patterns and app.opts.depth, but it
won't accept these options. It should also complain if these are given
without the --guess option.

-       "SRC1 [SRC2 [...]] DEST_DIR"),
+       "SRC1 [SRC2 [...]] DEST_DIR\n"
+       "--guess"),

I'm thinking that should probably be "[PATH]... --guess" to be more
consistent with other commands that take a restriction.


Trying it out...

$ ../nvm.rename-guess/build/mtn rename --guess
mtn: renaming a to d in workspace manifest
mtn: warning: a doesn't exist in workspace and d does, skipping
filesystem rename

It really doesn't need to warn about that, should probably do like
--bookkeep-only.
