[PATCH] Diff-helper update
This patch adds a framework and a stub implementation of rename detection to diff-helper program. The current stub code is just enough to detect pure renames in diff-tree output and not fancier. The plan is perhaps to use the same delta code when Nico's delta storage patch is merged for similarity evaluation purposes.
