Reverse the order of "origin" and "result" so that the sentence really describes an addition rather than a removal.

 When diffcore-pickaxe is in use, it checks if there are
-filepairs whose "original" side has the specified string and
-whose "result" side does not.  Such a filepair represents "the
+filepairs whose "result" side has the specified string and
+whose "origin" side does not.  Such a filepair represents "the
 string appeared in this changeset".  It also checks for the
 opposite case that loses the specified string.
