I have not seen a depot that used these commands so I cannot say whether the existing algorithm covers these cases with certainty but I suspect that nothing special needs to be done for the script to handle this correctly. The only mechanism that may be affected is the populate method which nobody uses anyway.
Hence, I will simply record this thought here and leave it for later.
