Re: git confused by rename

Looking at the last two lines here, there is obviously an issue.

I am puzzled.

Looking at wt-status.c "renamed: A -> B" will be shown only when A and B
are similar enough *and* there is no A remaining in the final result, and
in such a case, "modified: A" should not be shown.  Because git does not
care how you created B (IOW, it does not matter if B was typed from
scratch with copying and pasting, or created by copying and editing), the
"renamed: A -> B" entry itself is not surprising nor look like a bug at
all, but its presense at the same time as "modified: A" does feel very
fishy.
