denote-rename-file in dired does not use the current file name

[brabalan]

I have an inbox where some files land before integrating my denote folder. I try to give them a meaningful name when I save them, and I later rename them and tag them using denote-rename-file. I recently noticed that the current file name is not proposed by default for the file title, so I have to retype it all the time. Is there a way to call denote-rename-file such that the default title is not empty but the current file name?

This is a regression from a previous commit I made. I have fixed it now. I guess this is not really a "discussion" and should probably be in the issue tracker. But it is fine.
