Re: [PATCH 1/2] [RFC] Use --find- instead of --detect- as prefix for long forms of -M and -C.

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.

I agree.  The current names are better than the proposed names.
