+# SECTION 7: More involved Edge/Corner cases
+#
+# The ruleset we have generated in the above sections seems to provide
+# well-defined merges.  But can we find edge/corner cases that either (a)
+# are harder for users to understand, or (b) have a resolution that is
+# non-intuitive or suboptimal?
+#
+# The testcases in this section dive into cases that I've tried to craft in
+# a way to find some that might be surprising to users or difficult for
+# them to understand (the next section will look at non-intuitive or
+# suboptimal merge results).  Some of the testcases are similar to ones
+# from past sections, but have been simplified to try to highlight error
+# messages using a "modified" path (due to the directory rename).  Are
+# users okay with these?
+#
+# In my opinion, testcases that are difficult to understand from this
+# section is due to difficulty in the testcase rather than the directory
+# renaming (similar to how t6042 and t6036 have difficult resolutions due
+# to the problem setup itself being complex).  And I don't think the
+# error messages are a problem.
+#
+# On the other hand, the testcases in section 8 worry me slightly more...

+
+#   NOTE: The main path of interest here is d_1 and where it ends up, but
+#         this is actually a case that has two potential directory renames
+#         involved and D/F conflict(s), so it makes sense to walk through
+#         each step.
+#
+#         Commit A renames z/ -> y/.  Thus everything that B adds to z/
+#         should be instead moved to y/.  This gives us the D/F conflict on
+#         y/d because x/d_1 -> z/d_1 -> y/d_1 conflicts with y/d/g.
+#
+#         Further, commit B renames x/ -> z/, thus everything A adds to x/
+#         should instead be moved to z/...BUT we removed z/ and renamed it
+#         to y/, so maybe everything should move not from x/ to z/, but
+#         from x/ to z/ to y/.  Doing so might make sense from the logic so
+#         far, but note that commit A had both an x/ and a y/; it did the
+#         renaming of z/ to y/ and created x/d/f and it clearly made these
+#         things separate, so it doesn't make much sense to push these
+#         together.  Doing so is what I'd call a doubly transitive rename;
+#         see testcases 9c and 9d for further discussion of this issue and
