Subject: [PATCH] Fix symbol mapping mismatched match %

We have specific diff logic that relies on knowing
which object is the target object, and which is the
base. generate_mapping_symbols was designed in such
a way that it would reverse the target/base, leading
to a match percent shown that's different when it
gets applied.

Fixes #200
