AST Format
See the types.ts file for all AST formats.
Diffs generated with Git's copy detection (for example, --find-copies-harder)
include CopiedFile entries with pathBefore, pathAfter, and chunks.
Identical copies have no chunks; edited copies contain the changes relative to
the source file. Permission changes are included as oldMode and newMode.
