I was about to say "git should have complained about turning off the
requested rename detection", but I forgot that we silenced that warning
except for merges.

Maybe it makes sense for "status" or a single "diff" (but definitely not
"log", where it isn't even clear which diff caused it!). I dunno. I find
it clutter for anything except a merge, but if that is in fact what is
happening here, it might have produced one slightly less confused user.
