> FinishSingleFileRename function - in the case where src and dst both exist
> gets a lease on src blob to block write access and then deletes the file.
> However in the time between checking existence of source file and acquiring
> lease the file may be deleted by another process (race condition). Presently
> the function simply throws in this scenario. In this case the function should
> treat this as a case where rename is complete; i.e. catch the exception and
> if this is the cause exit gracefully with the result that the rename is
> complete
