From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx> As noted in commit 89973554b52c (diffcore-rename: make diff-tree -l0 mean -l<large>, 2017-11-29), -l0 has had a magical special "large" historical value associated with it. Document this value, particularly since it is not large enough for some uses -- see commit 9f7e4bfa3b6d (diff: remove silent clamp of renameLimit, 2017-11-13).
