For example, `-M90%` means git should consider a delete/add pair to be a rename if more than 90% of the file - hasn't changed. + hasn't changed. Without a `%` sign, the number is to be read as + a fraction, with a decimal point before it. I.e., `-M5` becomes + 0.5, and is thus the same as `-M50%`. Similarly, `-M05` is + the same as `-M5%`.
