Do you have any examples of what practical value such "consistency"
would have?

Arguing that any new name "contains more cosmetic changes" than another
is not valid IMO. The diff length doesn't change.

Committing it with one name temporarily just because more directories
might possibly be renamed together later would require changing the
include lines twice, once now and again in a later rename, which would
be a clear practical problem.
