It may be better to rename the "driver" in "diff.<driver>.*" to something like "content type" or "file type", but for now, let's keep it consistent across this part of the documentation and the original description in the gitattributes documentation.

While at it, make some tweaks: - update "Approach #1" so it might work with Thunderbird 3; - remove ancient version numbers from the descriptions of both approaches so current readers might have more reason to complain if they don't work.

There are two such forms: 1. The default form in which most metadata goes in the mail header and the message body starts with the patch description; 2. The snipsnip form in which a message starts with pertinent discussion and ends with a patch after a "scissors" mark. The example requires QP encoding in the "Subject:" header intended for the mailer to give the reader a chance to reflect on that, rather than being startled by it later. By contrast, in-body "From:" and "Subject:" lines should be human-readable and not QP encoded.

However, if the object name has changed, we already know that there is some damage, and it is unintuitive to claim there is _no_ damage. Teach show_dirstat() to assign a minimum amount of damage (== 1) to entries for which the analysis otherwise yields zero damage, to still represent that these files are changed, instead of saying that there is no change. Also, skip --dirstat analysis when the object names are the same (e.g. for a pure file rename).
