This was fixed in:

commit e2a15c8ac4efe823c51c9a5750642532155199a8

Moving files is generally frowned upon since it makes it harder to
follow the history in git.  So for better or for worse, we will have to
live with its current location.

I don't see anything more to do here, so I'm closing this bug.  Thanks.

Best regards,
