+ * to be deleted by the previous patch is still in the working
+ * tree and in the index.
+ *
+ * A patch to swap-rename between A and B would first rename A
+ * to B and then rename B to A. While applying the first one,
+ * the presense of B should not stop A from getting renamed to
+ * B; ask to_be_deleted() about the later rename. Removal of
+ * B and rename from A to B is handled the same way by asking
+ * was_deleted().
