I think when something like that happens in a single commit txn, we'd
just "fold it down" (or "reduce to lowest common denominator", to use
one more metaphor before actually saying exactly what I mean).

In other words,

   mv A/B X/Y
   mv X/Y A/B

should reduce to a no-op. Do we actually do this folding right now?
I'm not sure; I think we should, though.
