Ah, I see. I should have diff'd the two functions like you. The
'self.config' and 'self.cache' was too easy for my eyes to overlook...
Thanks for adding the tests. My local branch fails but passes using
master, so I can see this change is incorrect.

I sent 2 other patches whenever you have time to check them. I can
rewrite patch 0002 as long as it is otherwise correct. It should use
rewrite_{new,old}_files and not the improper renamed function from
patch 0001.

Patch 0003 should work fine. Just an unused variable that is handled
elsewhere.
