Subject: Re: Code duplication in core libraries

It's not very informative. I wasn't able to find the duplication it's
complaining about. I think you'll have to find out how to get it to show
more context. You'll also need to teach it about comments.

To pick a random example where I could roughly tell what it was talking
about [apart from why it talks about 15 lines between 1 and 20]:

Found 15 duplicate lines in the following files:
 Between lines 1 and 20 in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/wsdl/xmlSchema/sequence.rb
 Between lines 1 and 20 in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/wsdl/xmlSchema/choice.rb
 Between lines 1 and 20 in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/wsdl/xmlSchema/content.rb
 Between lines 1 and 20 in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/wsdl/xmlSchema/all.rb
 Between lines 1 and 20 in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/wsdl/xmlSchema/complexType.rb

Corresponds to:

=begin

FWIW, I ran a tool to identify duplicated code against the core ruby
libraries (1.8.0) that shipped
as part of my linux distro (gentoo) .

I hope you find this of some use.

Cheers,

Simon
