and I didn't double-check further than your commit message saying that it 
really does that, so..

Oh, I decided to double-check, and no, it doesn't actually do a full copy 
check for diff-tree. Only for diff-cache and diff-files.

Which is a sensible default, and I note that you sent a separate email for 
testing the extreme case. I'll try that out too, just for fun,
