We need deep-tree comparisons to catch this.
We'd need to compare the tree in the working copy to the tree in
the repository @r{merge-left}.
IIRC the current diff implementation does not properly support comparing
a local working copy tree to an arbitrary tree in the repository.
I don't recall exactly what was wrong. Either there is no API for this,
or the API is there but does not return useful results.
Neels is planning to look into this.
It's being tracked as part of issue #3150:

Well, that would be a "true rename".
We don't have true renames in 1.6.
