[PATCH] diffcore-rename: favour identical basenames

In-Reply-To
<alpine.LFD.0.98.0706202031200.3593@woody.linux-foundation.org>

When there are several candidates for a rename source, and one of them has an identical basename to the rename target, take that one.

Noticed by Govind Salinas, posted by Shawn O. Pearce, partial patch by Linus Torvalds.
