Junio C Hamanoe85e36f2010-08-10 05:30:14[diff] [blame]1321 delete/add pair to be a rename if more than 90% of the file
Junio C Hamanoc14e6ad2014-10-31 20:25:53[diff] [blame]1322 hasn&#8217;t changed. Without a <code>%</code> sign, the number is to be read as
1323 a fraction, with a decimal point before it. I.e., <code>-M5</code> becomes
1324 0.5, and is thus the same as <code>-M50%</code>. Similarly, <code>-M05</code> is
1325 the same as <code>-M5%</code>. To limit detection to exact renames, use
1326 <code>-M100%</code>. The default similarity index is 50%.

Junio C Hamano7d449522010-07-01 00:08:51[diff] [blame]1634 "untracked" is used submodules are not considered dirty when they only
1635 contain untracked content (but they are still scanned for modified
1636 content). Using "dirty" ignores all changes to the work tree of submodules,
1637 only changes to the commits stored in the superproject are shown (this was
1638 the behavior until 1.7.0). Using "all" hides all changes to submodules.
