For diff generation, it should be off by default (but you may have configured diff.renames, in which case you can pass --no-renames to suppress it). For the merge-recursive driver, it is on by default. You can hack it off by setting merge.renamelimit to something small like '1' (but don't use '0', which means "no limit"). Rebase uses "git am -3" internally, which in turn invokes merge-recursive. -Peff
