Trouble Shooting

If, while merging, you encounter the following scary message: 

  warning: too many files, skipping inexact rename detection

You'll get a whole lot of merge conflicts which one would imagine git could have take care of. The problem, in my case at least, is that because detecting file name changes is currently O(n^2), so git has a configurable limit which will stop the search after m iterations. To resolve this, you can set diff.renamelimit to something higher. 400, in my case, seemed to do the trick.
