Ah, you're following the precedent set by
diff_rename_limit/merge_rename_limit; that makes sense.  Thanks for
the explanation.  I believe another possibility here is that for both
the {merge,diff}_rename_limit pair of variables and the
{diff,merge}_renames pair of variables, since the code parses all
inputs before ever using the result, we could calculate the result
once and store it rather than storing the constituent pieces of the
calculation.  That would also prevent people from trying to use one of
the pieces of the calculation instead of treating it as a coherent
whole.  However, while I would have preferred that the rename_limit
pair of variables also went away in favor of just one field which is
updated as it parses each input option, what you have is fine for this
series.
