From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx>
We want to make use of unique basenames to help inform rename detection,
so that more likely pairings can be checked first. (src/moduleA/foo.txt
and source/module/A/foo.txt are likely related if there are no other
'foo.txt' files among the deleted and added files.) Add a new function,
not yet used, which creates a map of the unique basenames within
rename_src and another within rename_dst, together with the indices
within rename_src/rename_dst where those basenames show up. Non-unique
basenames still show up in the map, but have an invalid index (-1).
This function was inspired by the fact that in real world repositories,
files are often moved across directories without changing names. Here
are some sample repositories and the percentage of their historical
renames (as of early 2020) that preserved basenames:
* linux: 76%
* gcc: 64%
* gecko: 79%
* webkit: 89%
These statistics alone don't prove that an optimization in this area
will help or how much it will help, since there are also unpaired adds
and deletes, restrictions on which basenames we consider, etc., but it
certainly motivated the idea to try something in this area.
