+ The same as the previous one, except detect and handle
+ renames and complete rewrites intelligently to produce
+ renaming patch. A renaming patch reduces the amount of
+ text output, and generally makes it easier to review
+ it. Note that the "patch" program does not understand
+ renaming patch well, so use it only when you know the
