Rename detection is O(n^2), so when it looks like it will take a really long time, we skip it. This has been happening for a while, but 1.5.5 only recently started telling the user (based on some people wondering why renames weren't found during their enormous merges). The default rename limit is 100, but you can bump it via the diff.renamelimit config option. A few tests that I did imply that 200-400 is reasonable for logging, and 800-1000 for a merge: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/73519 Are you running into actual problems with rename detection, or is the message just too scary and confusing? -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
