 978         Detect moved or copied lines within a file. When a commit
 979         moves or copies a block of lines (e.g. the original file
 980         has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and then
 981         A), the traditional <em>blame</em> algorithm notices only half of
 982         the movement and typically blames the lines that were moved
 983         up (i.e. B) to the parent and assigns blame to the lines that
 984         were moved down (i.e. A) to the child commit.  With this
 985         option, both groups of lines are blamed on the parent by
 986         running extra passes of inspection.
