I'll attach a repository.

Notice in 'tmp.fossil' how I created a branch named "branch". This has a rename from 'a' to 'b', and is never merged *into* trunk.

While working on the "branch2", and updating branch2 from trunk, the file 'a' gets deleted when running: "fossil merge trunk".

Notice that you have just done the checkin [1c4d1272a6] for this ticket. This change is the opposite to that done in checkin [ff2a87103b] to fix the behaviour described in ticket [74413366fe].

I think even a cherrypick merge (if it sets an arrow in the checkin graph) can disrupt the renames.

It may be fixed by [0b93b0f958].
