Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] merge: update documentation for {merge,diff}.renameLimit
Date: Wed, 2 May 2018 16:01:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180502160056.5836-2-benpeart@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180502160056.5836-1-benpeart@microsoft.com>

Update the documentation to better indicate that the renameLimit setting is
ignored if rename detection is turned off via command line options or config
settings.
