I'm not sure I like the wording --find-copies and --find-renames. Maybe I'm just being silly, but it sounds like those are directives, saying "I want you to find copies/renames", as opposed to just saying "while you're working you should also detect copies/renames". The original flag --find-copies-harder is a bit different, because it's modifying the action of finding copies rather than making finding copies the prime directive. On the other hand, --detect-copies and --detect-renames sounds to me like you're just telling it that it should, well, detect copies/renames as it goes about its business. -Kevin Ballard
