I have not tried, but I think this would not work out:

1) Have a project with 'foo' directory.
2) Branch it
3) On one branch rename the 'foo' directory to 'bar'
4) On another branch create file 'foo/baz'
5) Merge.

Now correct behaviour would be to place the 'baz' file in the renamed
directory, ie. as 'bar/baz'. But I am quite sure it will not do this.

The problem here is, that the indices only contain full path from root
to the files and their IDs, but not IDs of the parent directories.
