If it were some tree UI in a buffer with Xref-like interface, one could 
add branches automatically by specifying an Xref search to do (the 
results would be added as a branch to the current node), or clean up 
said branches automatically by re-running the associated search (when 
you have done all the renamings, the search would return nil, and the 
branch could be deleted, provided there are no subtrees).

This needs a lot of experimentation, though.
