Ah, renames!  I forgot about those.

By the way, Junio, how do you handle this situation as a maintainer ?
Do you keep a note to manually make the change every time you remerge
the series together ? That is the kind of use-case you can't handle
with git-rerere, and I've been trying to find a solution to it.

Not sure if it helps to note that I am already basing my patch series
on top of Junio's nd/attr-match-optim-more branch.  Nguyen created
that branch which conflicted with mine, but then resolved the conflicts,
so I am basing mine on his to avoid having to continually resolve the
same conflicts.

So you could take the same approach and rebase yours on top of mine,
e.g.

    git remote add junio git://github.com/gitster/git.git
    git fetch junio
    git rebase junio/as/check-ignore
