[Tim, reproduces this kind of warning in a 1-file repository, via
 moving the file, then committing the removal of the old location
 before committing the addition of the new location]

Nope!  At least not for _threadmodule.c:  that got renamed in a single
commit (7fe3a8648ce2), and I don't see anything fishy about, or
around, it.

I gave up on tracing back bytesobject.c/stringobject.c, because not
only did one get renamed to the other, later it got renamed back
again.

I still expect they're harmless, albeit without a shred of evidence ;-)
