The patch-id code may be running inside another porcelain
like "git log" or "git format-patch", and therefore may have
set diff_detect_rename_default, either via the diff-ui
config, or by default since 5404c11 (diff: activate
diff.renames by default, 2016-02-25). This is the case even
if a command is run with `--no-renames`, as that is applied
only to the diff-options used by the command itself.
Rename detection doesn't help the patch-id results. It
_may_ actually hurt, as minor differences in the files that
would be overlooked by patch-id's canonicalization might
result in different renames (though I'd doubt that it ever
comes up in practice).
But mostly it is just a waste of CPU to compute these
renames.
Note that we don't have to worry about compatibility here.
This patch disables renames just for the internal patch-id
comparison run by "log --cherry-pick", etc. The user-visible
"git patch-id" output depends on the patch that it is fed
(so it is up to the diff generator to use --no-renames if
they wish).
