 *   2. Prune directory renames if there are still files left in the
 *      original directory.  These represent a partial directory rename,
 *      i.e. a rename where only some of the files within the directory
 *      were renamed elsewhere.  (Technically, this could be done earlier
 *      in get_directory_renames(), except that would prevent us from
 *      doing the previous check and thus failing testcase 6b.)
 *   3. Check for rename/rename(1to2) conflicts (at the directory level).
 *      In the future, we could potentially record this info as well and
 *      omit reporting rename/rename(1to2) conflicts for each path within
 *      the affected directories, thus cleaning up the merge output.
 *   NOTE: We do NOT check for rename/rename(2to1) conflicts at the
