Hi,
\n
I've tried to use the following to disable git diff renamed files search:
\n
repo.index.diff('origin/HEAD', no_renames=True)\n
\n
This did not work, and after some digging, i've found that GitPython hardcodes the -M flag:
\nhttps://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/blob/master/git/diff.py#L106
\n
Why is this flag hardcoded and is there a way around it?
\n
Thanks

With this API there is no way around it unless the git command is used directly such as in repo.git.diff(…).
\nIf there is motivation, a PR could be added to disable rename tracking which I presume is in the interest of increased performance.
