The core team took care of renaming the files over the weekend, so that reviews 
going forward should behave as normal. (i.e. Adds are truly additions and 
modifications are mods).  I looked at the review you referenced and that was 
file was a proposed addition before the name change.  Git/Gerrit as behaving as 
expected for this change.

As for making staged changes, that will run into problems as module paths will 
be out-of-sync and the change could not pass the gate.  Additionally, that 
would make it hard for changes to be applied or reverted atomically.
