-diff.renameLimit::
- The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename

-
-diff.renames::
- Tells git to detect renames. If set to any boolean value, it
- will enable basic rename detection. If set to "copies" or
- "copy", it will detect copies, as well.
-
-diff.ignoreSubmodules::
- Sets the default value of --ignore-submodules. Note that this
