 *   3. Check for rename/rename(1to2) conflicts (at the directory level).
 *      In the future, we could potentially record this info as well and
 *      omit reporting rename/rename(1to2) conflicts for each path within
 *      the affected directories, thus cleaning up the merge output.
 *   NOTE: We do NOT check for rename/rename(2to1) conflicts at the
 *         directory level, because merging directories is fine.  If it
 *         causes conflicts for files within those merged directories, then
