No problem, actually I "blame" my discovery on git automated move/copy
detection. A copy is typically something suspect unless the copied
file is changed a lot (similarity ~50% like in HttpUtil, for
instance). I noticed two copies of two files that had been moved a bit
earlier, and this was definitely enough to prompt the email.

I'm actually preparing an academic paper on this area, and I'm using
shindig as a kind of  "lab" for the techniques...

Santiago (who should do another PhD in the next years :( )
