The only "downside" is that it means --follow actually impacts the diff
generation by implying --find-copies-harder. And I put downside in
quotes because it is probably not a big deal. We have already spent the
CPU time to find the answer, so it is silly not to show it. I can't
imagine why somebody would want --follow, but would _not_ want rename
detection in the resulting diff.

...but this seems very reasonable.  (In fact, if --follow implies
finding copies and renames, and if it's doing that for diff too, then
it's exactly what I originally wanted.)

Bo's version of the patch does that optimization. When I clean up the
patch (probably sometime next week), I'll take those changes.

Thanks!
