What type of change is described by a git_diff_delta?
GIT_DELTA_RENAMED and GIT_DELTA_COPIED will only show up if you run git_diff_find_similar() on the diff object.
GIT_DELTA_TYPECHANGE only shows up given GIT_DIFF_INCLUDE_TYPECHANGE in the option flags (otherwise type changes will be split into ADDED / DELETED pairs).
