> For rename across snapshottable directories, suppose there are two
> snapshottable directories: /user1 and /user2 and we have the following steps:
> 1. Take snapshot s1 on /user1 at time t1.
> 2. Take snapshot s2 on /user2 at time t2.
> 3. Take snapshot s3 on /user1 at time t3.
> 4. Rename /user2/foo/ (an INodeDirectoryWithSnapshot instance) to /user1/foo/.
> After the rename we update the subtree of /user1/foo/ again (e.g., delete
> /user1/foo/bar), we need to decide where to record the diff. The problem is
> that the current implementation will identify s3 as the latest snapshot, thus
> recording the snapshot copy of bar to s3. However, the parent of bar,
> /user1/foo, is still in the created list of s3. Thus here we should record
> the snapshot copy of bar to s2.
> If we further take snapshot s4 on /user1, and make some further change under
> /user1/foo, these changes will be recorded in s4. Then if we delete the
> snapshot s4, similar with above, we should merge the change to s2, not s3.
> Thus in general, we may need to record the latest snapshots of both the
> src/dst subtree in the renamed inode and update the current
> INodeDirectory#getExistingINodeInPath accordingly.
