?The reconstruction part of the algorithm is in function
"receive_data"
in receiver.c ; the more interesting matching part is in "hash_search"
in match.c . However, if you're adding support for remote-to-remote
transfers, you probably don't need to study the delta-transfer code in
detail and could just focus on the issues that Wayne listed.
