+# SECTION 8: Suboptimal merges
+#
+# As alluded to in the last section, the ruleset we have built up for
+# detecting directory renames unfortunately has some special cases where it
+# results in slightly suboptimal or non-intuitive behavior. This section
+# explores these cases.
+#
+# To be fair, we already had non-intuitive or suboptimal behavior for most
+# of these cases in git before introducing implicit directory rename
+# detection, but it'd be nice if there was a modified ruleset out there
+# that handled these cases a bit better.

+# Testcase 8a, Dual-directory rename, one into the others' way
+# Commit O. x/{a,b}, y/{c,d}
+# Commit A. x/{a,b,e}, y/{c,d,f}
+# Commit B. y/{a,b}, z/{c,d}
+#
+# Possible Resolutions:
+# w/o dir-rename detection: y/{a,b,f}, z/{c,d}, x/e
+# Currently expected: y/{a,b,e,f}, z/{c,d}
+# Optimal: y/{a,b,e}, z/{c,d,f}
+#
+# Note: Both x and y got renamed and it'd be nice to detect both, and we do
+# better with directory rename detection than git did without, but the
+# simple rule from section 5 prevents me from handling this as optimally as
+# we potentially could.
