Maybe if you renamed every option simultaneously, there would be
confusion, but seriously, it's only one option. It's not going to be
a problem.
Well, let's avoid all of that trouble before it is too late, by putting
this on top of what is in 'next' and ship 1.7.4 with it.
Between "find" and "detect", I do not have much preference either way. It
may sound more active to "find" them, but if told to "detect" them, git
goes ahead and actively changes its internal behaviour in order to do so,
which amounts to an active "find"ing anyway, so...

Subject: [PATCH] diff: use "find" instead of "detect" as prefix for long forms of -M and -C
It is more consistent with existing --find-copies-harder; luckily "detect"
variant has not appeared in any officially released version of git.
