[PATCH] diff-tree: --find-copies-harder

[PATCH] diff-tree: --find-copies-harder

[Junio C Hamano]

Normally, diff-tree does not feed unchanged filepair to diffcore
for performance reasons, so copies are detected only when the
source file of the copy happens to be modified in the same
changeset.  This adds --find-copies-harder flag to tell
diff-tree to sacrifice the performance in order to find copies
the same way as other commands in diff-* family.

*** Linus I am submitting this one because some patches on
*** read-tree I am going to send you will need this for
*** formatting into a form that is easier to review.  Also this
*** feature came up during the recent discussion on "what to do
*** with merging rename/copy in the longer term".
