Yeah, but as opposed to passing "oh, let's see if we can get a reasonable result without rename detection just this time" from the command line, configuring merge.renames=false in would mean exactly that: "we don't need rename detection, just want to skip the cycles spent for it". That is why I wondered how well the resolve strategy would have fit your needs.
