Re: 100% (was: [PATCH] diffcore-rename: favour identical basenames)

As a note aside: would it be possible to always round downwards when

I'd rather not. This would be counterintuitive. People expect rounded 
values.

I very much would like to see the 100% figure reserved for identity.
This is particularly relevant when interpreting the output of git-diff
--name-status with regard to R100, C100 and similar flags.

You should never depend on the output of --name-status if you're 
interested in identifying identical files, but on the object names.
