If I read the commit messages correctly, this "skipping" process
applies to the move detection in general for those smaller blocks
and therefore doesn't mean a malicious move can hide smaller
changes, correct? If so, I find this sentence misleading. Maybe
something like:

    Small blocks of 3 moved lines or fewer are excluded from move
    detection and colored as regular diff.

Simon
