Re: [PATCH 3/3] diff: make "too many files" rename warning optional

In that case, Junio, perhaps we should restrict this particular warning
just to merge.

I am not sure if we really want to work around Tcl's braindamage like
that.

If this is the warning about too many files to do inexact rename
detection, I find that one annoying because I don't care about that
(it's just for the diffstat when doing a pull AFAIK) and I don't know
how to turn it off.

There is no stdwarn or stdinfo stream and I think it is a bug on the
receiving end to assume that anything that comes to stderr is an error.

There are apparently some programs on some platforms for which this
behaviour is necessary...
