"Find" and "detect" have different nuances.

"Detect" sounds somewhat passive/minor, so "detect renames" makes it
more clear that renames are detected _in addition_ to normal processing.

"Find," by contrast, is active/major, so "find renames" makes it sounds
like an action to be performed _instead_ of some normal processing.
