yes, for simple renames it works, but once files start getting 
"reorganized" and split up it gets tricky.  For example trying to track 
things across the single perf_event.h to the separate perf_event.h files
after the UAPI split is always a pain.

But anyway, it sounds like the renames are being done for reasonably good 
reasons, it's just the tip commit message that came my way didn't have 
this extra context.

Thanks,
