I guess your perf results show some minor improvement. But I suspect
this is because your synthetic repo does not resemble the real world
very much. You're saving a few strcmps, but for each of those files
you're potentially going to have actually zlib inflate the object
contents and do similarity analysis.

So "absurd number of files doing 100% exact renames" is the absolute
best case, and it saves a few percent.

I dunno. It is not that much code _here_, but I'm not excited about the
prospect of sprinkling this same "check the last one" optimization all
over the code base. I wonder if there's some way to generalize it.
