Notice how the name change is taken in one direction, and not in the other. Those are direct commits, no merges involved.

The problem is in the line of find_filename_changes()

for(p=bisect.pStart->u.pTo; p; p=p->u.pTo)

This always skips the first checkin of the chain, while it should be skipped only if it is a parent of the next commit. Similarly, some commits (parent of both From and To) should be skipped as well.

The trick is that the checkin id always refers to "AFTER applying the checkin".
