I've tried to set needed_rename_limit to 2^31-2 at the place where it was set to the maximum of num_src and num_create, but that doesn't help. Where could I affect this? Also we have the impression that 'git cherry-pick' silently stops doing rename detection in this situation - it doesn't take nearly long enough to perform it, and it clearly misses renames. I'm trying to do a 'diff --name-status -M' to see whether the rename is properly detected, but I guess the real way would be to make cherry-pick still perform rename detection, and to find out how to do *that*.
