```
This is stolen from the deltification patch by Nicolas Pitre.
Although the deltification patch has not been submitted for the
inclusion, the library part here is useful for the rename
detection logic in the diff work I have been doing.  The next
patch will depend on this, so if Nico is OK with this one,
please consider inclusion of this patch.  This does not include
the main part of Nico's work, which is to delitify repository
objects.

I'd prefer if the following patch was applied instead, following the 
patch separation I've done already.

=====

This patch adds basic library functions to create and replay delta 
information. Also included is a test-delta utility to validate the code.

Sure. I'll apply this one and merge in Junio's rename on top of it, but I 
wanted to verify one thing first:

I don't know the different LGPL versions, so can somebody verify that LGPL
2.1 is fully compatible with GPLv2...

In fact I'd prefer to have that notice in the code to make it obvious that 
the LGPL becomes the GPLv2 when linked into the rest of git.

I don't mind switching it to GPL v2 if I'm allowed to.  I kept LGPL v2.1 
for that file since that's the license used for xdiff where significant 
portion of that file has been copied from.

In fact I think the code in that file might be simplified even further 
eventually, at which point there  might not be much of the original code 
left anymore and the license switched to GPL v2.  But in the mean time 
someone else with better knowledge of GPL vs LGPL interaction is needed 
to give advice.

Davide,

would you mind signing off on me adding the lines

(If you just send me an ack and your "signed-off-by" line, I'll edit 
Nico's patch appropriately, and check it in with all of our sign-offs).

That way there's no question about the dual-licensing.

I am afraid that kind of code transformation would not change

Maybe you're right.  Anyway it is a non issue now.
