As a practical matter, I don't want renames across boundaries to be an
error, I'd like the presence of either half of a rename inside a limit
to automatically include the other half.

It's very natural to do:

    mv OLD NEW
    tla commit -- NEW

That is, I tend to think of a renamed file as a single entity; if I had
to do `tla commit -- OLD NEW' to make that work, it would seem very odd.
