Cover letter [PATCH 0/3] Improve the documentation and warnings dealing with rename/copy limits

Fix a few small issues with documentation and warnings around the limits for the quadratic portion of rename (&copy) detection.

I also sent out a separate RFC about how and whether to bump {diff,merge}.renameLimit [1]. If there's a quick consensus there, I may add a patch to this series that bumps the limits, but that could also just be done separately afterward.
