It isn't harmful. You had a big commit, and git decided it wasn't worth
trying to do rename detection on such a big change (because it would
likely take too much CPU time).
The upcoming version of git suppresses this message since it confuses
gitk. So you can try upgrading to the most recent 'master' to fix it. In
the meantime, you can either ignore it (though I think it may interfere
with gitk showing the correct diff), or you can try setting the rename
limit higher (try "git config diff.renamelimit 400").
