The point of separating them is that the rename implies a relatively
long patch (you have 17 occurences of 'refinfo' in the deletion part of
your patch), but it is straightforward to review (apply, run "git diff
--color-words" and press space a few times). But it is no longer so
simple once you mix it with anything else.
