That algorithm section also says:

	The cost of an edge o--C is the size of C's diff, modified by a
	fudge factor that should be smaller than 100%.

Which I find quite confusing to follow, isn't that "fudge factor" the
<percent> (or <factor>) we're accepting with --creation-factor? Doesn't
that also need to be adjusted?

I still find this documentation quicke lacking, if the default is 60 and
it's not 0..100 what is it then? Are values of 200 sensible in some
cases, 1k? 10k?

I think 90% of your responses are better answered not by me.  Feel
free to edit "to:" header field when that happens next time ;-)

It's a comment on your patch: If you're updating the <percent> early in
the doc, shouldn't the proposed update also update the wording later on
to refer to "factor?"
