Have you been able to sort out all of the remaining issues, f.e.
incomplete output in a directory-restricted case (renames)? I haven't
had the time to look at the code recently.

Cool! Thanks for your work!

Well, this is the point where I'm a bit unsure - shall we replace an
incomplete, buggy format then with another less incomplete (not
complete), less buggy (not bugfree) format? Or is this more a "anything
is better than the current solution"-deal?

I don't think of it as a good idea. You're effectively hiding two kind
of information by this: pivot_root-renames and attr sets/drops on the
workspace root. So IMHO we really should find a way to display it
somehow. Even if we display it as a non-standard item, but we should not
omit it.
