Description

Renaming change files and running beachball bump command with the --keep-change-files flag bumps up the package version.
Manually reverting PRs, where git deletes change files, and recreating them using beachball change makes git mark these as renamed and might result in package versions changing in an unpredictable manner.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by renaming change files and running beachball bump --keep-change-files, then compare the package version with the result after using beachball change. Investigate how Git-renamed change files are handled during the bump; done means renaming files no longer causes an unexpected version change when the flag is used.
