1) In what order are the changes printed? If I saw:

My analyzer would need to be smart enough to realize that the second
must have happened before the first, and that both paths need
evaluation. Right?
Between two snapshots only the later event would be found, surely. (But
I'm not the i-team.)
The example was slightly messed up, sorry; that caused misunderstanding.
I'm worried about this situation:
snaps...@1
mv /myfiles/name1 /myfiles/name2
mkdir /myfiles/name1
snaps...@2
So, I'm fairly sure that between the two snapshots both events are
relevant. So the above might yield:
+ /myfiles/name1
R /myfiles/name1 -> /myfiles/name2
It's tempting to read this as "name1 was created, then renamed to
name2." But that isn't what it means. For a human, the following
version portrays the events much more clearly:
R /myfiles/name1 -> /myfiles/name2
+ /myfiles/name1
I'm not sufficiently expert about all the pieces here to understand
whether it's possible to efficiently or even sensibly sort things into
a "human friendly" order.
Apologies for not responding sooner, I've been playing a bit with the
code. Based on what I've been doing this morning, I believe it will be
possible to present the list in roughly chronological order. The order
originally was just by object number, so you could get either of the
outputs you show above.
