[diff]
renames = true

That should probably be mentioned in SubmittingPatches.

Something like:
---
Documentation/SubmittingPatches | 7 +++++++
1 file changed, 7 insertions(+)

diff --git a/Documentation/SubmittingPatches b/Documentation/SubmittingPatches
index 27e7e5e..d86cf89 100644
--- a/Documentation/SubmittingPatches
+++ b/Documentation/SubmittingPatches
