[PATCH 08/14] name-rev: drop unused parameters from is_better_name()

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date
May 9, 2019, 21:30 UTC
Message-ID
<20190509213056.GH15837@sigill.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20190509212558.GA15438@sigill.intra.peff.net>

When this function was extracted in 0041bf6544 (name-rev: refactor logic to see if a new candidate is a better name, 2017-03-29), it ended up getting more arguments than it needs.

It's possible we may later use these values to evaluate the name, but since it's a static function with a single caller, it will be easy to add them back then.
