[phenixbb] riding hydrogens

Hi Jianghai,

phenix.refine idealizes the geometry of hydrogen atoms using the Monomer 
Library definitions for ideal values (if riding model is used). I 
presume that phenix.reduce uses some other values when adding H atoms. 
So it is not too surprising that the geometries of H atoms are different 
after phenix.reduce and phenix.refine.

What is interesting though is why this has a significant impact on the 
clash scores.

Pavel.
