[PATCH v4 1/6] t4001: add a test comparing basename similarity and content similarity

Message-ID: <3e6af929d135ef2dc239e2f47f92a7e2e91cbd17.1613031350.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <pull.843.v4.git.1613031350.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>

Add a simple test where a removed file is similar to two different added files; one of them has the same basename, and the other has a slightly higher content similarity. Without break detection, filename similarity of 100% trumps content similarity for pairing up related files. For any filename similarity less than 100%, the opposite is true -- content similarity is all that matters. Add a testcase that documents this.

Subsequent commits will add a new rule that includes an inbetween state, where a mixture of filename similarity and content similarity are weighed, and which will change the outcome of this testcase.
