I assume this patch will be gone in the next iteration after using -M
so skipping it now.

No, originally I intended to use the -M option, I just forgot.
This is needed even w/ the -M option.
The reason is git seeing file <somepath1>/a.c as being modified
when moving it to <somepath2>/a.c and at the same time adding
<somepath1>/a.c in place of the old one, *even if* the similarity
between the old <somepath1>/a.c and <somepath2>/a.c would be *100%*
and you'd use the -M option. A google-search led me to a 2009-dated page
that described this as a lack of git diff's algo that would be improved
upon.
It seems they aren't there yet.
Corneliu.
