Hmph, I actually am quite confused with the existing code.

The caller (originally in merge_trees(), now in handle_renames())
calls get_renames() twice and have the list of renamed paths in
these two string lists.  get_renames() mostly works with the
elements in the "entries" list and adds the "struct rename" to the
string list that is to be returned.  And the caller uses these two
string lists get_renames() returns when calling process_renames(),
but once process_renames() is done with them, these two string lists
are never looked at by anybody.

So do we really need to pass this structure around in the first
place?  I am wondering if we can do the cleanup_rename() on both of
these lists after handle_renames() calls process_renames() before
returning, which will eliminate the need for this structure and a
separate cleanup_renames() helper that clears the structure and the
two string lists in it.
