But then, why not simply use --find-renames (since --detect-renames
has luckily not been released ontl the masses yet), and avoid
making similar-usage opts dissimilar and then adding a synonym just
to make them similar the other way ?

"Find" and "detect" have different nuances.

"Detect" sounds somewhat passive/minor, so "detect renames" makes it
more clear that renames are detected _in addition_ to normal
processing.

Seen that argument before.
1. does anyone care ? (I personally don't)
2. whether we care or not we have IMHO to face the implications, see my
other mails about implications of both paths
