Description is in good direction, although I agree that it is a bit awkward. Perhaps it should read:

Instead of
  $diffinfo->{'from_file'} || $diffinfo->{'file'}
it is now enough to use
  $diffinfo->{'from_file'}

(because $diffinfo->{'from_file'} is now _always_ set, not only for renames and copies, when from_name and to_name differ).
