[PATCH 3/3] t4301: add a test case involving a rename, type change & modification

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

This is a reduced version of a real-world scenario that triggered the
work on the original file names.

Let's make sure that Git does not regress in that scenario.
