It's unclear to me which part you are trying to help with
deltify algorithm [*1*].

Internally, git-diff-cache -B -C is used which does use the
deltify to locate complete rewrites, renames and copies (that's
why the script is so slow).  For passing on and assigning blames
line by line, parsing "diff --unified=0" output was a lot easier
for this script and that was what I did in this quick-and-dirty
version.


[Footnotes]

*1* David says "deltify" and Nico calls it "deltafy".  I am not
a native speaker so I cannot tell, but which one is correct?
