As copies are treated as additions in the current version of JGit, having multiple PatchListEntries referring to the same file path didn't seem possible. However, when a file is renamed alongside those copies, JGit identifies the copies as such. The logic which transforms the edits from the parents' trees to the children's trees assumed that one edit was only mapped to a transformed edit. With the existence of copies, we need to map one edit to several ones instead. All in all, we compute the cross product of all possible combinations. When computing a real diff between two trees, not all of them would be present at the same time. As it seems difficult to figure out exactly which edits are 'necessary' to keep, we rather keep all of them for the moment and accept that we possibly waste some resources.

Gerrit Code Review
Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.
Objective
Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.
Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.
