From: Elijah Newren <new...@gmail.com>
In commit 6aba117d5cf7 ("am: avoid directory rename detection when
calling recursive merge machinery", 2018-08-29), the git-rebase manpage
probably should have also been updated to note the stronger
incompatibility between git-am and directory rename detection. Update
it now.

Directory rename detection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-The merge and interactive backends work fine with
-directory rename detection. The am backend sometimes does not.
+Directory rename heuristics are enabled in the merge and interactive
+backends. Due to the lack of accurate tree information, directory
+rename detection is disabled in the am backend.
