It basically has a really stupid example of "how LT> to set up a new project". I've spotted a couple of typos which I will leave others to fix, but there is one thing I am to blame. (Btw, current versions of git will consider the change in question to be so big that it's considered a whole new file, since the diff is actually bigger than the file. So the helpful comments that git-commit-script tells you for this example will say that you deleted and re-created the file "a". For a less contrieved example, these things are usually more obvious). Do you want me to do something about this with -B (and possibly -C/-M), like skipping the comparison altogether if the file size is smaller than, say, 1k bytes or something silly like that? Or not having special case for this kind of "contrived example" preferrable?
