[PATCH 0/3] Improve the documentation and warnings dealing with rename/copy limits

"Elijah Newren via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx> · Sun, 11 Jul 2021 00:46:35 +0000

Fix a few small issues with documentation and warnings around the limits for
the quadratic portion of rename (&copy) detection.

I also sent out a separate RFC about how and whether to bump
{diff,merge}.renameLimit [1]. If there's a quick consensus there, I may add
a patch to this series that bumps the limits, but that could also just be
done separately afterward.
