Git Rename Limit

I encounter a git issue when I run these commands, they are used to sync up with origin/master:

git_clean() {
  git reset --hard HEAD
  sed -i -e 's/^\(\*[ ][ ]*text.*\)/#\1/' .gitattributes
  git status
  git clean -fdx
  git checkout -- .
  sed -i -e 's/^#\(\*[ ][ ]*text.*\)/\1/' .gitattributes
  git status
}

I get errors:

warning: inexact rename detection was skipped due to too many files.
warning: you may want to set your merge.renamelimit variable to at least 12454 and retry the command.
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.

Try to set rename.limit to larger value and run commands again but that does not help, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4722423/how-to-merge-two-branches-with-different-directory-hierarchies-in-git

git config merge.renameLimit 999999
git merge --abort
git config --unset merge.renameLimit

So far these commands help:

git reset --hard origin/master
git fetch -p
git pull origin master

## if failed again, run
git merge --abort
git reset --hard origin/master
git pull origin master
