13 /* dst is recorded as a modification of src. Are they so
14 * different that we are better off recording this as a pair
15 * of delete and create?
17 * There are two criteria used in this algorithm. For the
18 * purposes of helping later rename/copy, we take both delete
19 * and insert into account and estimate the amount of "edit".
20 * If the edit is very large, we break this pair so that
21 * rename/copy can pick the pieces up to match with other
22 * files.
24 * On the other hand, we would want to ignore inserts for the
25 * pure "complete rewrite" detection. As long as most of the
26 * existing contents were removed from the file, it is a
27 * complete rewrite, and if sizable chunk from the original
28 * still remains in the result, it is not a rewrite. It does
29 * not matter how much or how little new material is added to
30 * the file.
32 * The score we leave for such a broken filepair uses the
33 * latter definition so that later clean-up stage can find the
34 * pieces that should not have been broken according to the
35 * latter definition after rename/copy runs, and merge the
36 * broken pair that have a score lower than given criteria
37 * back together. The break operation itself happens
38 * according to the former definition.
40 * The minimum_edit parameter tells us when to break (the
41 * amount of "edit" required for us to consider breaking the
42 * pair). We leave the amount of deletion in *merge_score_p
43 * when we return.
45 * The value we return is 1 if we want the pair to be broken,
46 * or 0 if we do not.

131 * happens, we merge the broken pieces back into one
132 * modification together if the pair did not have more than
133 * this much delete. For this computation, we do not take
134 * insert into account at all. If you start from a 100-line
