[PATCH] Use enhanced diff_delta() in the similarity estimator.

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:01
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The diff_delta() interface has been extended to reject
generating too big a delta while we were working on the packed
GIT archive format.  Take advantage of that when generating
delta in the similarity estimator used in diffcore-rename.c
