Lets say in mainline you have a function "foo". You rename to "clearer_name". In a branch, "child", you use foo in more places than in mainline. The merge of the change from "foo" to "clearer_name" from mainline to child is only accurately represented by a changeset that includes renaming the additional uses, OR, by an unaltered changeset + an adjustment changeset. pure-merge the script is a proof-of-concept. It immediately highlit a problem in the design that we'd done on IRC, and led to a revised design that is more flexible and reliable.. but it needs an enhancement to whats-missing to allow it to work - and I've not had the time to hack up the requisite logic.
