diff.renameLimit::
The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename
files to determine the '-k' modes to use. If `crlf` is set,
the '-k' mode will be left blank, so cvs clients will
treat it as text. If `crlf` is explicitly unset, the file
- will be set with '-kb' mode, which supresses any newline munging

then 'gitcvs.allbinary' is used. See linkgit:gitattributes[5].
