t6429: testcases for remembering renames
We will soon be adding an optimization that caches (in memory only,
never written to disk) upstream renames during a sequence of merges such
as occurs during a cherry-pick or rebase operation. Add several tests
meant to stress such an implementation to ensure it does the right
thing, and include a test whose outcome we will later change due to this
optimization as well.
