RE: cherry-pick very slow on big repository

Since this is happening during a merge, you might need to use merge.renameLimit
or the merge strategy option of -Xno-renames.  Although the code does fallback
to use the diff.renameLimit but there is still a lot that is done before even checking
the rename limit so I would first try getting renames turned off.

Thanks,
Kevin
