"Find" and "detect" have different nuances. "Detect" sounds somewhat passive/minor, so "detect renames" makes it more clear that renames are detected _in addition_ to normal processing. "Find," by contrast, is active/major, so "find renames" makes it sounds like an action to be performed _instead_ of some normal processing. -Miles -- 97% of everything is grunge
