Not yet. Adding such an option, similar in nature to the flags for
turning off renaming detection entirely (merge.renames, diff.renames,
-Xno-renames) would probably make sense (I don't see an analogy to
-Xrename-threshold=, though). It might make sense as just an
alternate setting of merge.renames or diff.renames, though it's
possible that could get confusing with "copy" being an option.
#leftoverbits for someone that wants to figure out what the option
names and values should be?
