It doesn't surprise me at all that some testcases would fail with this
change; it's a change of behavior from the previous implementation.
However, taking a look at that testcase, it looks like it's not a
simple change to make it do something similar because there's at least
one other bug that we need to fix first.  I'll dig in...though I
really want to get my
directory-rename-detection-defaults-to-reporting-conflict series
updated and sent out first.  Since Junio seems to be okay with just
taking your doc update for now, hopefully that's not a problem.  :-)
