When doing a file rename, it is much more compact if you use 'git diff -M'
or 'git format-patch -M'.  Not only that, but if you end up making slight
changes during the rename to account for the new name, the git rename
detection makes it much easier to see the 1% difference than the
non-rename listing of 100% deletion/100% addition.  For that matter, doing
'git config diff.renames true' makes the -M option automatic.
