Configure similarity index for diffs

[creisle]

Is it possible to configure the similarity index when comparing to a branch/tag/etc?

If I were doing this from the command line I would be using the -M/--find-renames flag

For example if I wanted to lower the threshold to 20 (from the default 50)

git diff -M20 <commit>

Unfortunately there is no way to do that today -- good feature request 😄

@creisle @x13machine Is a global setting enough for this? Would you likely change this more than once?

In addition to a global default would you like to change the threshold on a per-comparision basis, say via a command or something and you enter a new threshold and it would be applied to that comparison immediately?

A global setting should be good enough for our use case for now. I imagine once we start using it we could see better if it would be useful to have it per comparison?

Thanks for working on this!
