Description
Hi,
When I try to get the size of a modified binary file, I always get 0 using "delta.new_file().size()", where delta is a gi2::DiffDelta struct. The weird thing is when I use "delta.old_file().size()", I can get the size of the old binary file. However, it does not work for the new file. Does anyone know the reason for this problem?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior described for the gi2::DiffDelta new_file().size() and old_file().size() calls on a modified binary file. Trace how these values are obtained and compare the new-file and old-file paths; done means the new binary size is returned correctly with coverage for the reported case.
