Subject: diffcore-break: don't divide by zero

When the source file is empty, the calculation of the merge score
results in a division by zero.  In the situation:

     == preimage ==             == postimage ==

     F (empty file)             F (a large file)
                                E (a new empty file)

it does not make sense to consider F->E as a rename, so it is better not
to break the pre- and post-image of F.

Bail out early in this case to avoid hitting the divide-by-zero.  This
causes the merge score to be left at zero.
