Subject: [PATCH] Fill minibuffer when dired renaming one file
Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2023 21:07:34 +0100

When renaming a file in dired it's sometimes annoying to have to
retype the entire name even when we're only changing a single
character. With this tiny li'l one word patch, the minibuffer gets
pre-filled by the old name.
