[Gnu-arch-users] [BUG] merging new files into a renamed directory looses the file

[Phil Frost]

The scenario:

- Create a branch 'main' with an empty directory 'fu'.
- Tag from this branch two more branches, 'A' and 'B'.
- In 'A', add a file to the directory 'fu'. commit.
- Merge 'A' into 'main'
- In 'B', rename directory 'fu' to 'bar'. commit.
- star-merge 'main' into 'B'

Expected behavior:

after merging 'main' into 'B', the file that was added in 'A' is created
in the now renamed directory 'bar', formerly 'fu'.

Observed behavior:

after merging 'main' into 'B', a directory 'fu' is created, with the new
file in it. tree-lint reports this directory as "would be source if it
had an id."
