metadata: filter the `removed` set to only contains relevant data
The `files` entry can be bogus and contains too many entries. This can badly
combines with the computation of `removed` inflating the set size. The can lead
to the changesets centric rename computation to process much more data than
needed, slowing it down (and increasing space taken by data storage).
In practice newer commits already that reduced set, this applies this "fix" to
older changeset.

These initial lines of Xs were not in the original file used to generate
the patch. So all the patch hunks need to be applied to a constant offset
within this file. If the offset isn't tracked then the hunks can be
applied to the wrong lines of this file.
