Unfortunately, I'm not going to be much help here since I don't grok "creation factor" well enough to put an explanation into words, even after having read the "algorithm" section multiple times[1]. The situation is further confused (at least to me) by the "algorithm" section in the `git range-diff` documentation stating that the "fudge factor ... should be smaller than 100%", yet your position in this discussion is that the creation factor can be greater than 100%. FOOTNOTES [1]: I likewise didn't understand it well enough when submitting[2] which added --creation-factor to `git format-patch`, which is why I punted at that time and simply referred the reader to the `git range-diff` documentation.
