There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think this has a lot of merit!

Add diff.renameThreshold, merge.renameThreshold, and status.renameThreshold configuration options to control the minimum similarity threshold for rename detection without requiring command-line flags. The cascade follows the existing pattern for renameLimit and renames: - merge.renameThreshold overrides diff.renameThreshold for merges - status.renameThreshold overrides diff.renameThreshold for status - CLI flags (-M, --find-renames) override all config values The value accepts the same format as -M: a percentage (e.g. 50%) or a fraction (e.g. 0.5). If unset, the default remains 50%. This also gives git-blame users control over the rename threshold for the first time, since blame has no -M threshold flag but inherits diff.renameThreshold via repo_diff_setup().
