 The similarity index is the percentage of unchanged lines, and
 the dissimilarity index is the percentage of changed lines.  It
 is a rounded down integer, followed by a percent sign.  The
 similarity index value of 100% is thus reserved for two equal
 files, while 100% dissimilarity means that no line from the old
 file made it into the new one.
