[PATCH] merge-recursive: option to specify rename threshold

From
Kevin Ballard <kevin@sb.org>

<A0604F16-CA84-4A84-B74B-CE8AB455DF77@sb.org>

The recursive merge strategy turns on rename detection but leaves the rename score at the default. Add a strategy option to allow the user to specify a rename score to use.

Signed-off-by: Kevin Ballard <kevin@sb.org>

This patch was generated off of the tip of the next branch.

As with the previous version, there are no tests included here. There seem to be no tests for the rename score in general, and I was not prepared to try to create my own.
