Besides I start to think that it should be actually possible to solve
this case with the git-style approach. I have to state beforehand, that
I don't know how the most recent git algorithm works, but I imagine
there is some kind of 'brackets' saying the text is in a given file. Now
if those 'brackets' were not flat, but nested, ie. instead of saying
'this is in foo/bar' it would say 'this is in bar is in foo', the
difference when renaming directory would only affect the 'outer bracket'
and therefore merge correctly with adding content inside it.
You mean, to consider "contents" of a directory union of contents
of files and directories it contains, and then use the same "rename
detection" algorithm as for files?
Yes, something like that.
