diffcore: fix iteration order of identical files during rename detection
If the two paths 'dir/A/file' and 'dir/B/file' have identical content
and the parent directory is renamed, e.g. 'git mv dir other-dir', then
diffcore reports the following exact renames:
renamed: dir/B/file -> other-dir/A/file
renamed: dir/A/file -> other-dir/B/file
While technically not wrong, this is confusing not only for the user,
but also for git commands that make decisions based on rename
information, e.g. 'git log --follow other-dir/A/file' follows
'dir/B/file' past the rename.
This behavior is a side effect of commit v2.0.0-rc4~8^2~14
(diffcore-rename.c: simplify finding exact renames, 2013-11-14): the
hashmap storing sources returns entries from the same bucket, i.e.
sources matching the current destination, in LIFO order. Thus the
iteration first examines 'other-dir/A/file' and 'dir/B/file' and, upon
finding identical content and basename, reports an exact rename.
Other hashmap users are apparently happy with the current iteration
order over the entries of a bucket. Changing the iteration order
would risk upsetting other hashmap users and would increase the memory
footprint of each bucket by a pointer to the tail element.
Fill the hashmap with source entries in reverse order to restore the
original exact rename detection behavior.
