From 1706306a54cfb5f1bf65f2b054aab2a5a7dba8e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2006 22:11:25 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] diffcore-rename: similarity estimator fix. The "similarity" logic was giving added material way too much negative weight. What we wanted to see was how similar the post-change image was compared to the pre-change image, so the natural definition of similarity is how much common things are there, relative to the post-change image's size. This simplifies things a lot.
