Yes, that's one of planned things.  Along the same line (once renames
are stabilized), I think about extending things so that "split dirs"
are detected as well, so merge can flag a conflict when there is a
doubt that a file would really be added in a "split directory".  The
situation may be obvious in my example (arm/ contents dispatched into
bar/ and moved/), but may also be useful when we can detect that a
significant number of files have been moved out of a directory.

Good idea.
