Side note: it's certainly possible that we could improve on this. Right now, "--simplify-namespace" will totally override any path simplification, so you can't get a combination of pathnames _and_ naming commits. I don't know exactly what the rules should be, but I could imagine that we could do something like: - if no pathnames are given, work the way the current patch-series works. - if path-names are given, make rev_compare_tree() truen REV_TREE_DIFFERENT if a name decoration _or_ a tree difference exists. Anyway, that's a fairly trivial extension to the idea, and doesn't really matter for the basic code. It can easily be left for later.
