I agree 100%, merge is a very important and sensible task and git
should push as much as possible to avoid fails.

A failed merge is always an hassle for the developer also in simple
cases and when a successful merge is possible git should really try to
achieve that also if it takes a little time more.

So I second overriding diff.renamelimit in this case.
