[PATCH 08/14] range-diff: publish default creation factor

From
Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
Date
Jul 22, 2018, 09:57 UTC
Message-ID
<20180722095717.17912-9-sunshine@sunshineco.com>
In-Reply-To
<20180722095717.17912-1-sunshine@sunshineco.com>

The range-diff back-end allows its heuristic to be tweaked via the "creation factor". git-range-diff, the only client of the back-end, defaults the factor to 60% (hard-coded in builtin/range-diff.c), but allows the user to override it with the --creation-factor option.

Publish the default range factor to allow new callers of the range-diff back-end to default to the same value without duplicating the hard-coded constant, and to avoid worrying about various callers becoming out-of-sync if the default ever needs to change.
