Junio typically applies bugfixes as close to the bug-source as possible,
which allows them to be merged-up into various releases (rather than
cherry-picked, which would be required if built on top of 'master').

Ideally this is directly on top of the commit that introduced the bug,
though for an ancient bug like this, it's not worth the effort. It looks
like he applied it on the 2.16 maint branch, which predates e5e5e0883.
When it's merged up, the resolution will handle the rename (probably
even automatically due to Git's rename detection).
