This is not true.  If src/main.c is 99% similar to src/foo.c, and is
0% similar to the src/main.c in the new commit, we match the old
src/main.c to the new src/main.c despite being far more similar
src/foo.c.  Unless break detection is turned on, we do not allow
content similarity to trump (full) filename equality.
Absolutely.  And we are talking about a new optimization that kicks
in only when there is no break or no copy detection going on, no?
