Subject: [PATCH v3 4/6] xdiff/xdl_cleanup_records: make limits more clear

From: "Ezekiel Newren via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 19:23:51 +0000

From: Ezekiel Newren <[email-masked]>

Make the handling of per-file limits and the minimal-case clearer.
  * Use explicit per-file limit variables (mlim1, mlim2) and initialize
    them.
  * The additional condition `!need_min` is redudant now, remove it.
Best viewed with --color-words.
