[TOY PATCH] diffcore-rename: replace basename_same() heuristics by levenshtein

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Date: Jan 2, 2009, 18:07 UTC
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.1.00.0901021301560.27818@racer>

When the environment variable GIT_USE_LEVENSHTEIN is set, the rename score is reduced by the Damerau-Levenshtein distance. This should lead to a little more intuitive rename scores.

	I have this in my personal tree, but I did not really use it.
	Maybe others want to play with it.
