I'm confused. Could you please explain why you choose nodes_weight()? On my
first impression,
it seems almostly unrelated factor.
Isnt this the original code by Paul?
No, I added the test to see if the source and destination has the same number of nodes.
  I would think that the 1-1 movement
is only useful to do if the number of nodes in both the destination and
the source is the same.
Agreed, thats exactly what this patch does. are you OK with this change then???
