+# Implicitly renaming files due to a detected directory rename could run
+# into problems if there are files or directories in the way of the paths
+# we want to rename.  Explore such cases in this section.

+# Testcase 5a, Merge directories, other side adds files to original and target
+#   Commit A: z/{b,c},       y/d
+#   Commit B: z/{b,c,e_1,f}, y/{d,e_2}
+#   Commit C: y/{b,c,d}
+#   Expected: z/e_1, y/{b,c,d,e_2,f} + CONFLICT warning
+#   NOTE: While directory rename detection is active here causing z/f to
+#         become y/f, we did not apply this for z/e_1 because that would
+#         give us an add/add conflict for y/e_1 vs y/e_2.  This problem with
+#         this add/add, is that both versions of y/e are from the same side
+#         of history, giving us no way to represent this conflict in the
+#         index.
Makes sense.
+# Testcase 5b, Rename/delete in order to get add/add/add conflict
+#   (Related to testcase 8d; these may appear slightly inconsistent to users;
+#    Also related to testcases 7d and 7e)
+#   Commit A: z/{b,c,d_1}
+#   Commit B: y/{b,c,d_2}
+#   Commit C: z/{b,c,d_1,e}, y/d_3
+#   Expected: y/{b,c,e}, CONFLICT(add/add: y/d_2 vs. y/d_3)
+#   NOTE: If z/d_1 in commit C were to be involved in dir rename detection, as
+#         we normaly would since z/ is being renamed to y/, then this would be
+#         a rename/delete (z/d_1 -> y/d_1 vs. deleted) AND an add/add/add
+#         conflict of y/d_1 vs. y/d_2 vs. y/d_3.  Add/add/add is not
+#         representable in the index, so the existence of y/d_3 needs to
+#         cause us to bail on directory rename detection for that path, falling
+#         back to git behavior without the directory rename detection.
+
+# Testcase 5c, Transitive rename would cause rename/rename/rename/add/add/add
+#   (Directory rename detection would result in transitive rename vs.
+#    rename/rename(1to2) and turn it into a rename/rename(1to3).  Further,
+#    rename paths conflict with separate adds on the other side)
+#   (Related to testcases 3b and 7c)
+#   Commit A: z/{b,c}, x/d_1
+#   Commit B: y/{b,c,d_2}, w/d_1
+#   Commit C: z/{b,c,d_1,e}, w/d_3, y/d_4
+#   Expected: A mess, but only a rename/rename(1to2)/add/add mess.  Use the
+#             presence of y/d_4 in C to avoid doing transitive rename of
+#             x/d_1 -> z/d_1 -> y/d_1, so that the only paths we have at
+#             y/d are y/d_2 and y/d_4.  We still do the move from z/e to y/e,
+#             though, because it doesn't have anything in the way.
Missing the expected state, only the explanation is given.

+# Testcase 5d, Directory/file/file conflict due to directory rename
+#   Commit A: z/{b,c}
+#   Commit B: y/{b,c,d_1}
+#   Commit C: z/{b,c,d_2,f}, y/d/e
+#   Expected: y/{b,c,d/e,f}, z/d_2, CONFLICT(file/directory), y/d_1~HEAD
+#   Note: The fact that y/d/ exists in C makes us bail on directory rename
+#         detection for z/d_2, but that doesn't prevent us from applying the
+#         directory rename detection for z/f -> y/f.
Makes sense.

You seem to be hinting at these all the time.
