Doing that would require adding two free() calls to avoid leaking the
racl memory, but I've chosen to fix the problem by making sure that the
racl object is always initialized.  Thanks!

It would be interesting to effect that (and I think I have a simple way
to do it).

This is pretty straight forward:  an alternate basis file is considered
to be a drop-in substitute for the destination file when mentioning
changes due to its one-to-one correspondence.  A fuzzy match, on the
other hand, is just a potential source of data for a missing file.  So a
fuzzy match always itemizes as a new file, while a matched alternate
basis file is either identical (and itemized as unchanged) or different
(and the destination file is itemized as differing in the way that the
alternate basis differs from the source file).
