Sure, but the whole point of using logical commits is that somebody
might need to revert or check out one commit in a series. If you need to
undo an r5 -> r6 bump that modified RDEPEND, then you want the revision
to go back to r5, too, so that users rebuild it.

Niceeeeee. Thanks to you and Peter, I figured out that I can get away
with this in my .gitconfig:
[diff]
renames = true
If that ever doesn't work, --find-copies(-harder) should help.
