Exact rename detection is handled before inexact detection, so the
contents length are irrelevant. So it is not about empty files, but
about exact matches. I'm not sure if the basename-matching code is used
for exact matches, though. But ideally we would break exact-match ties
based on filename. I'd have to read through the code and/or perform some
tests to be sure, though.
