I see, content can become relevant again.

Here is a change of behavior, but it appears to be a good one!

I appreciate that this use of tracing demonstrates a change of
internal behavior.

Same here.

As I was reading, I was also thinking that it would be good to
have some kind of tracing, if only a summary of how often we
relied upon the cached renames. That would present a mechanism
for the test cases to verify that the rename cache is behaving
as expected, but also provides a way to diagnose any issues that
might arise in the future by asking a user to reproduce a
problematic rebase/merge with a GIT_TRACE2* target. Such a
change would fit as a follow-up, and does not need to insert
into an already heavy patch.

I have now read all of the patches in this series to the level
I can. It's all very deep stuff, so the more we can rely on the
tests to show correctness, the better.

I appreciate the extra tests that you added, which increases my
confidence in the series.

Thanks,
