[PATCH 1/4] Tweak count-delta interface

From
Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
Date
Jun 3, 2005, 08:36 UTC
Message-ID
<7vekbjq1l8.fsf_-_@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>
In-Reply-To
<7vis0vq1rz.fsf_-_@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>

Make it return copied source and insertion separately, so that later implementation of heuristics can use them more flexibly.

This does not change the heuristics implemented in diffcore-rename nor diffcore-break in any way.
