[RFC PATCH v4 0/4] Detection of directory renames

At last a reroll of that old series.  The most prominent change is a
split of the old --factorize-renames flag into --detect-dir-renames
and --hide-dir-rename-details - hopefully following Junio's comments
dated nearly 2 years ago.  While doing this, a couple of testcases got
added (as well as a list of more testcases to be written), and some
minor optimizations were done, but no heavy surgery.

I hope we can turn the simple detection feature to something
acceptable for inclusion - that is, once unified diff output shows the
detected renames as annotations, and once the known major holes are
plugged (both from FIXME and testcases).  For the "hiding" one OTOH, a
more precise description of what we want must probably be done before
progressing, but I suggest we keep that for later.

Also, maybe the --detect-dir-renames would get a good alias as "-M -M".

Does all of that look reasonable ?

Yann Dirson (4):
  Introduce wholesame directory move detection in diffcore.
  Add testcases for the --detect-dir-renames diffcore flag.
  Allow hiding renames of individual files involved in a directory
    rename.
  Add testcases for the --hide-dir-rename-details diffcore flag.
