I have always wondered why diff.renames was not activated by default. I've had it to true in my configuration for 9 years, and I've been teaching newbies to set it for a while without issue. I think it's time to activate it by default, but please let me know if I missed a reason to keep it to false.

In any case, the first 3 patches are useful cleanups.

  diff: activate diff.renames by default
