ee7fb0b1d4 difftool: display the number of files in the diff queue in the prompt
When --prompt option is set, git-difftool displays a prompt for each
modified file to be viewed in an external diff program.  At that
point, it could be useful to display a counter and the total number
of files in the diff queue.

Below is the current difftool prompt for the first of 5 modified files:

    Viewing: 'diff.c'
    Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:

Consider the modified prompt:

    Viewing (1/5): 'diff.c'
    Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:

The current GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF mechanism does not tell the number of
paths in the diff queue nor the current counter.  To make this
"counter/total" info available for GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF programs
without breaking existing ones by doing the following:

 - Keep track of the number of paths shown so far in diff_options;

 - Export two new environment variables from run_external_diff() to
   show the total number of paths (from diff_queue_struct) and the
   current value of the counter (from diff_options); and

 - Update git-difftool--helper to use these two environment variables.

c48f6816f0 diff: remove "diff-files -q" in a version of Git in a distant future
This was inherited from "show-diff -q" that was invented to tell

95a7c546b0 diff: deprecate -q option to diff-files
This reimplements the ancient "-q" option to "git diff-files" that
was inherited from "show-diff -q" in terms of "--diff-filter=d".  We
will be deprecating the "-q" option, so let's issue a warning when
we do so.

Incidentally this also tentatively fixes "git diff --no-index" to
honor "-q" and hide deletions; the use will get the same warning.

We should remove the support for "-q" in a future version but it is
not that urgent.

6c374008b1 diff_opt: track whether flags have been set explicitly
The diff_opt infrastructure sets flags based on defaults and command
line options.  It is impossible to tell whether a flag has been set
as a default or on explicit request.  Update the structure so that
this detection is possible:

 * Add an extra "opt->touched_flags" that keeps track of all the
   fields that have been touched by DIFF_OPT_SET and DIFF_OPT_CLR.

 * You may continue setting the default values to the flags, like
   commands in the "log" family do in cmd_log_init_defaults(), but
   after you finished setting the defaults, you clear the
   touched_flags field;

 * And then you let the usual callchain call diff_opt_parse(),
   allowing the opt->flags be set or unset, while keeping track of
   which bits the user touched;

 * There is an optional callback "opt->set_default" that is called
   at the very beginning to let you inspect touched_flags and update
   opt->flags appropriately, before the remainder of the diffcore
   machinery is set up, taking the opt->flags value into account.

28452655af diff_setup_done(): return void
diff_setup_done() has historically returned an error code, but lost
the last nonzero return in 943d5b7 (allow diff.renamelimit to be set
regardless of -M/-C, 2006-08-09).  The callers were in a pretty
confused state: some actually checked for the return code, and some
did not.

Let it return void, and patch all callers to take this into account.
This conveniently also gets rid of a handful of different(!) error
messages that could never be triggered anyway.

Note that the function can still die().

e54501004a diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel value
The diff code represents paths using the diff_filespec
struct. This struct has a sha1 to represent the sha1 of the
content at that path, as well as a sha1_valid member which
indicates whether its sha1 field is actually useful. If
sha1_valid is not true, then the filespec represents a
working tree file (e.g., for the no-index case, or for when
the index is not up-to-date).

The diff_filespec is only used internally, though. At the
interfaces to the diff subsystem, callers feed the sha1
directly, and we create a diff_filespec from it. It's at
that point that we look at the sha1 and decide whether it is
valid or not; callers may pass the null sha1 as a sentinel
value to indicate that it is not.

We should not typically see the null sha1 coming from any
other source (e.g., in the index itself, or from a tree).
However, a corrupt tree might have a null sha1, which would
cause "diff --patch" to accidentally diff the working tree
version of a file instead of treating it as a blob.

This patch extends the edges of the diff interface to accept
a "sha1_valid" flag whenever we accept a sha1, and to use
that flag when creating a filespec. In some cases, this
means passing the flag through several layers, making the
code change larger than would be desirable.

One alternative would be to simply die() upon seeing
corrupted trees with null sha1s. However, this fix more
directly addresses the problem (while bogus sha1s in a tree
are probably a bad thing, it is really the sentinel
confusion sending us down the wrong code path that is what
makes it devastating). And it means that git is more capable
of examining and debugging these corrupted trees. For
example, you can still "diff --raw" such a tree to find out
when the bogus entry was introduced; you just cannot do a
"--patch" diff (just as you could not with any other
corrupted tree, as we do not have any content to diff).

90d43b0768 teach diffcore-rename to optionally ignore empty content
Our rename detection is a heuristic, matching pairs of
removed and added files with similar or identical content.
It's unlikely to be wrong when there is actual content to
compare, and we already take care not to do inexact rename
detection when there is not enough content to produce good
results.

However, we always do exact rename detection, even when the
blob is tiny or empty. It's easy to get false positives with
an empty blob, simply because it is an obvious content to
use as a boilerplate (e.g., when telling git that an empty
directory is worth tracking via an empty .gitignore).

This patch lets callers specify whether or not they are
interested in using empty files as rename sources and
destinations. The default is "yes", keeping the original
behavior. It works by detecting the empty-blob sha1 for
rename sources and destinations.

One more flexible alternative would be to allow the caller
to specify a minimum size for a blob to be "interesting" for
rename detection. But that would catch small boilerplate
files, not large ones (e.g., if you had the GPL COPYING file
in many directories).

A better alternative would be to allow a "-rename"
gitattribute to allow boilerplate files to be marked as
such. I'll leave the complexity of that solution until such
time as somebody actually wants it. The complaints we've
seen so far revolve around empty files, so let's start with
the simple thing.

A new option --stat-graph-width=<width> can be used to limit the width
of the graph part even is more space is available. Up to <width>
columns will be used for the graph.

If commits changing a lot of lines are displayed in a wide terminal
window (200 or more columns), and the +- graph uses the full width,
the output can be hard to comfortably scan with a horizontal movement
of human eyes. Messages wrapped to about 80 columns would be
interspersed with very long +- lines. It makes sense to limit the
width of the graph part to a fixed value (e.g. 70 columns), even if
more columns are available.

accccde483 pickaxe: allow -i to search in patch case-insensitively
"git log -S<string>" is a useful way to find the last commit in the
codebase that touched the <string>. As it was designed to be used by a
porcelain script to dig the history starting from a block of text that
appear in the starting commit, it never had to look for anything but an
exact match.

When used by an end user who wants to look for the last commit that
removed a string (e.g. name of a variable) that he vaguely remembers,
however, it is useful to support case insensitive match.

When given the "--regexp-ignore-case" (or "-i") option, which originally
was designed to affect case sensitivity of the search done in the commit
log part, e.g. "log --grep", the matches made with -S/-G pickaxe search is
done case insensitively now.

14937c2c06 diff: add option to show whole functions as context
Add the option -W/--function-context to git diff.  It is similar to
the same option of git grep and expands the context of change hunks
so that the whole surrounding function is shown.  This "natural"
context can allow changes to be understood better.

Note: GNU patch doesn't like diffs generated with the new option;
it seems to expect context lines to be the same before and after
changes.  git apply doesn't complain.

This implementation has the same shortcoming as the one in grep,
namely that there is no way to explicitly find the end of a
function.  That means that a few lines of extra context are shown,
right up to the next recognized function begins.  It's already
useful in its current form, though.

The function get_func_line() in xdiff/xemit.c is extended to work
forward as well as backward to find post-context as well as
pre-context.  It returns the position of the first found matching
line.  The func_line parameter is made optional, as we don't need
it for -W.

The enhanced function is then used in xdl_emit_diff() to extend
the context as needed.  If the added context overlaps with the
next change, it is merged into the current hunk.

f1c9626105 diff: refactor COLOR_DIFF from a flag into an int
This lets us store more than just a bit flag for whether we
want color; we can also store whether we want automatic
colors. This can be useful for making the automatic-color
decision closer to the point of use.

This mostly just involves replacing DIFF_OPT_* calls with
manipulations of the flag. The biggest exception is that
calls to DIFF_OPT_TST must check for "o->use_color > 0",
which lets an "unknown" value (i.e., the default) stay at
"no color". In the previous code, a value of "-1" was not
propagated at all.

1c57a627bf New --dirstat=lines mode, doing dirstat analysis based on diffstat
This patch adds an alternative implementation of show_dirstat(), called
show_dirstat_by_line(), which uses the more expensive diffstat analysis
(as opposed to show_dirstat()'s own (relatively inexpensive) analysis)
to derive the numbers from which the --dirstat output is computed.

The alternative implementation is controlled by the new "lines" parameter
to the --dirstat option (or the diff.dirstat config variable).

For binary files, the diffstat analysis counts bytes instead of lines,
so to prevent binary files from dominating the dirstat results, the
byte counts for binary files are divided by 64 before being compared to
their textual/line-based counterparts. This is a stupid and ugly - but
very cheap - heuristic.

In linux-2.6.git, running the three different --dirstat modes:

  time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=changes > /dev/null
vs.
  time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=lines > /dev/null
vs.
  time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=files > /dev/null

yields the following average runtimes on my machine:

 - "changes" (default): ~6.0 s
 - "lines":             ~9.6 s
 - "files":             ~0.1 s

So, as expected, there's a considerable performance hit (~60%) by going
through the full diffstat analysis as compared to the default "changes"
analysis (obviously, "files" is much faster than both). As such, the
"lines" mode is probably only useful if you really need the --dirstat
numbers to be consistent with the numbers returned from the other
--*stat options.

The patch also includes documentation and tests for the new dirstat mode.

467ddc14fe git diff -D: omit the preimage of deletes
When reviewing a patch while concentrating primarily on the text after
then change, wading through pages of deleted text involves a cognitive
burden.

Introduce the -D option that omits the preimage text from the patch output
for deleted files.  When used with -B (represent total rewrite as a single
wholesale deletion followed by a single wholesale addition), the preimage
text is also omitted.

To prevent such a patch from being applied by mistake, the output is
designed not to be usable by "git apply" (or GNU "patch"); it is strictly
for human consumption.

It of course is possible to "apply" such a patch by hand, as a human can
read the intention out of such a patch.  It however is impossible to apply
such a patch even manually in reverse, as the whole point of this option
is to omit the information necessary to do so from the output.

When there are too many paths in the project, the number of rename source
candidates "git diff -C -C" finds will exceed the rename detection limit,
and no inexact rename detection is performed.  We however could fall back

means that it will come first, followed possibly by a spew
of conflicts, making it hard to see.

Instead, let's have diffcore pass back the information about
how big the rename limit would needed to have been, and then
the caller can provide a more appropriate message (and at a
more appropriate time).

No refactoring of other non-merge callers is necessary,
because nobody else was even using the warn_on_rename_limit

f506b8e8b5 git log/diff: add -G<regexp> that greps in the patch text
Teach "-G<regexp>" that is similar to "-S<regexp> --pickaxe-regexp" to the
"git diff" family of commands.  This limits the diff queue to filepairs
whose patch text actually has an added or a deleted line that matches the
given regexp.  Unlike "-S<regexp>", changing other parts of the line that
has a substring that matches the given regexp IS counted as a change, as
such a change would appear as one deletion followed by one addition in a
patch text.

Unlike -S (pickaxe) that is intended to be used to quickly detect a commit
that changes the number of occurrences of hits between the preimage and
the postimage to serve as a part of larger toolchain, this is meant to be
used as the top-level Porcelain feature.

The implementation unfortunately has to run "diff" twice if you are
running "log" family of commands to produce patches in the final output
(e.g. "git log -p" or "git format-patch").  I think we _could_ cache the
result in-core if we wanted to, but that would require larger surgery to
the diffcore machinery (i.e. adding an extra pointer in the filepair
structure to keep a pointer to a strbuf around, stuff the textual diff to
the strbuf inside diffgrep_consume(), and make use of it in later stages
when it is available) and it may not be worth it.

44c48a909a diff --follow: do call diffcore_std() as necessary
Usually, diff frontends populate the output queue with filepairs without
any rename information and call diffcore_std() to sort the renames out.
When --follow is in effect, however, diff-tree family of frontend has a
hack that looks like this:

    diff-tree frontend
    -> diff_tree_sha1()
       . populate diff_queued_diff
       . if --follow is in effect and there is only one change that
         creates the target path, then
       -> try_to_follow_renames()
	  -> diff_tree_sha1() with no pathspec but with -C
	  -> diffcore_std() to find renames
	  . if rename is found, tweak diff_queued_diff and put a
	    single filepair that records the found rename there
    -> diffcore_std()
       . tweak elements on diff_queued_diff by
       - rename detection
       - path ordering
       - pickaxe filtering

We need to skip parts of the second call to diffcore_std() that is related
to rename detection, and do so only when try_to_follow_renames() did find
a rename.  Earlier 1da6175 (Make diffcore_std only can run once before a
diff_flush, 2010-05-06) tried to deal with this issue incorrectly; it
unconditionally disabled any second call to diffcore_std().

This hopefully fixes the breakage.

aee9c7d654 Submodules: Add the new "ignore" config option for diff and status
The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git
status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they
consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each
submodule.

The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept
the new parameter "none" for both status and diff.

Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times
might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings
back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never
scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the
command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan.

This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name
and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff):

"all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored.

"dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and
	the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes
	to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this
	value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at
	all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules.

"untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored,
	a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it
	as modified.

"none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a
	submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD
	and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up
	as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the
	"--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status"
	so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

dea007fb4c diff: parse separate options like -S foo
Change the option parsing logic in revision.c to accept separate forms
like `-S foo' in addition to `-Sfoo'. The rest of git already accepted
this form, but revision.c still used its own option parsing.

Short options affected are -S<string>, -l<num> and -O<orderfile>, for
which an empty string wouldn't make sense, hence -<option> <arg> isn't
ambiguous.

This patch does not handle --stat-name-width and --stat-width, which are
special-cases where diff_long_opt do not apply. They are handled in a
separate patch to ease review.

Without this patch at least IBM VisualAge C 5.0 (I have 5.0.2) on AIX
5.1 fails to compile git.

enum style is inconsistent already, with some enums declared on one
line, some over 3 lines with the enum values all on the middle line,
sometimes with 1 enum value per line... and independently of that the
trailing comma is sometimes present and other times absent, often
mixing with/without trailing comma styles in a single file, and
sometimes in consecutive enum declarations.

Clearly, omitting the comma is the more portable style, and this patch
changes all enum declarations to use the portable omitted dangling
comma style consistently.

882749a04f diff: add --word-diff option that generalizes --color-words
This teaches the --color-words engine a more general interface that
supports two new modes:

* --word-diff=plain, inspired by the 'wdiff' utility (most similar to
  'wdiff -n <old> <new>'): uses delimiters [-removed-] and {+added+}

* --word-diff=porcelain, which generates an ad-hoc machine readable
  format:
  - each diff unit is prefixed by [-+ ] and terminated by newline as
    in unified diff
  - newlines in the input are output as a line consisting only of a
    tilde '~'

Both of these formats still support color if it is enabled, using it
to highlight the differences.  --color-words becomes a synonym for
--word-diff=color, which is the color-only format.  Also adds some
compatibility/convenience options.

9297f77e6d git status: Show detailed dirty status of submodules in long format
Since 1.7.0 there are three reasons a submodule is considered modified
against the work tree: It contains new commits, modified content or
untracked content. Lets show all reasons in the long format of git status,
so the user can better asses the nature of the modification. This change
does not affect the short and porcelain formats.

Two new members are added to "struct wt_status_change_data" to store the
information gathered by run_diff_files(). wt-status.c uses the new flag
DIFF_OPT_DIRTY_SUBMODULES to tell diff-lib.c it wants to get detailed
dirty information about submodules.

e3d42c4773 Performance optimization for detection of modified submodules
In the worst case is_submodule_modified() got called three times for
each submodule. The information we got from scanning the whole
submodule tree the first time can be reused instead.

New parameters have been added to diff_change() and diff_addremove(),
the information is stored in a new member of struct diff_filespec. Its
value is then reused instead of calling is_submodule_modified() again.

When no explicit "-dirty" is needed in the output the call to
is_submodule_modified() is not necessary when the submodules HEAD
already disagrees with the ref of the superproject, as this alone
marks it as modified. To achieve that, get_stat_data() got an extra
argument.

730f72840c unpack-trees.c: look ahead in the index
This makes the traversal of index be in sync with the tree traversal.
When unpack_callback() is fed a set of tree entries from trees, it
inspects the name of the entry and checks if the an index entry with
the same name could be hiding behind the current index entry, and

 (1) if the name appears in the index as a leaf node, it is also
     fed to the n_way_merge() callback function;

 (2) if the name is a directory in the index, i.e. there are entries in
     that are underneath it, then nothing is fed to the n_way_merge()
     callback function;

 (3) otherwise, if the name comes before the first eligible entry in the
     index, the index entry is first unpacked alone.

When traverse_trees_recursive() descends into a subdirectory, the
cache_bottom pointer is moved to walk index entries within that directory.

All of these are omitted for diff-index, which does not even want to be
fed an index entry and a tree entry with D/F conflicts.

This fixes 3-way read-tree and exposes a bug in other parts of the system
in t6035, test #5.  The test prepares these three trees:

 O = HEAD^
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b-2/c/d
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b/c/d
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/x

 A = HEAD
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b-2/c/d
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b/c/d
    100644 blob 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb    a/x

 B = master
    120000 blob a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52    a/b
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b-2/c/d
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/x

With a clean index that matches HEAD, running

    git read-tree -m -u --aggressive $O $A $B

now yields

    120000 a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52 3       a/b
    100644 e69de29bb2 0       a/b-2/c/d
    100644 e69de29bb2 1       a/b/c/d
    100644 e69de29bb2 2       a/b/c/d
    100644 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb 0       a/x

which is correct.  "master" created "a/b" symlink that did not exist,
and removed "a/b/c/d" while HEAD did not do touch either path.

Before this series, read-tree did not notice the situation and resolved
addition of "a/b" and removal of "a/b/c/d" independently.  If A = HEAD had
another path "a/b/c/e" added, this merge should conflict but instead it
silently resolved "a/b" and then immediately overwrote it to add
"a/b/c/e", which was quite bogus.

Tests in t1012 start to work with this.

752c0c2492 Add the --submodule option to the diff option family
When you use the option --submodule=log you can see the submodule
summaries inlined in the diff, instead of not-quite-helpful SHA-1 pairs.

The format imitates what "git submodule summary" shows.

To do that, <path>/.git/objects/ is added to the alternate object
databases (if that directory exists).

This option was requested by Jens Lehmann at the GitTogether in Berlin.

90b1994170 diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICK
The option "QUIET" primarily meant "find if we have _any_ difference as
quick as possible and report", which means we often do not even have to
look at blobs if we know the trees are different by looking at the higher
level (e.g. "diff-tree A B").  As a side effect, because there is no point
showing one change that we happened to have found first, it also enables
NO_OUTPUT and EXIT_WITH_STATUS options, making the end result look quiet.

Rename the internal option to QUICK to reflect this better; it also makes
grepping the source tree much easier, as there are other kinds of QUIET
option everywhere.

f245194f9a diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace" options
Traditionally, the --ignore-whitespace* options have merely meant to tell
the diff output routine that some class of differences are not worth
showing in the textual diff output, so that the end user has easier time
to review the remaining (presumably more meaningful) changes.  These
options never affected the outcome of the command, given as the exit
status when the --exit-code option was in effect (either directly or
indirectly).

When you have only whitespace changes, however, you might expect

	git diff -b --exit-code

to report that there is _no_ change with zero exit status.

Change the semantics of --ignore-whitespace* options to mean more than
"omit showing the difference in text".

The exit status, when --exit-code is in effect, is computed by checking if
we found any differences at the path level, while diff frontends feed
filepairs to the diffcore engine.  When "ignore whitespace" options are in
effect, we defer this determination until the very end of diffcore
transformation.  We simply do not know until the textual diff is
generated, which comes very late in the pipeline.

When --quiet is in effect, various diff frontends optimize by breaking out
early from the loop that enumerates the filepairs, when we find the first
path level difference; when --ignore-whitespace* is used the above change
automatically disables this optimization.

75f3ff2eea Generalize and libify index_is_dirty() to index_differs_from(...)
index_is_dirty() in builtin-revert.c checks if the index is dirty.
This patch generalizes this function to check if the index differs
from a revision, i.e. the former index_is_dirty() behavior can now be
achieved by index_differs_from("HEAD", 0).

The second argument "diff_flags" allows to set further diff option
flags like DIFF_OPT_IGNORE_SUBMODULES. See DIFF_OPT_* macros in diff.h
for a list.

index_differs_from() seems to be useful for more than builtin-revert.c,
so it is moved into diff-lib.c and also used in builtin-commit.c.

Yet to mention:

 - "rev.abbrev = 0;" can be safely removed.
   This has no impact on performance or functioning of neither
   setup_revisions() nor run_diff_index().

 - rev.pending.objects is free()d because this fixes a leak.
   (Also see 295dd2ad "Fix memory leak in traverse_commit_list")

2b6a5417d7 color-words: take an optional regular expression describing words
In some applications, words are not delimited by white space.  To
allow for that, you can specify a regular expression describing
what makes a word with

	git diff --color-words='[A-Za-z0-9]+'

Note that words cannot contain newline characters.

As suggested by Thomas Rast, the words are the exact matches of the
regular expression.

Note that a regular expression beginning with a '^' will match only
a word at the beginning of the hunk, not a word at the beginning of
a line, and is probably not what you want.

This commit contains a quoting fix by Thomas Rast.

c7534ef4a1 userdiff: require explicitly allowing textconv
Diffs that have been produced with textconv almost certainly
cannot be applied, so we want to be careful not to generate
them in things like format-patch.

This introduces a new diff options, ALLOW_TEXTCONV, which
controls this behavior. It is off by default, but is
explicitly turned on for the "log" family of commands, as
well as the "diff" porcelain (but not diff-* plumbing).

Because both text conversion and external diffing are
controlled by these diff options, we can get rid of the
"plumbing versus porcelain" distinction when reading the
config. This was an attempt to control the same thing, but
suffered from being too coarse-grained.

With a new configuration "diff.mnemonicprefix", "git diff" shows the
differences between various combinations of preimage and postimage trees
with prefixes different from the standard "a/" and "b/".  Hopefully this
will make the distinction stand out for some people.

    "git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
    "git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
    "git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;
    "git-diff HEAD:file1 file2" compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
    "git diff --no-index a b" compares two non-git things (1) and (2).

Because these mnemonics now have meanings, they are swapped when reverse
diff is in effect and this feature is enabled.

b8960bbe7b diff: make "too many files" rename warning optional
In many cases, the warning ends up as clutter, because the
diff is being done "behind the scenes" from the user (e.g.,
when generating a commit diffstat), and whether we show
renames or not is not particularly interesting to the user.

However, in the case of a merge (which is what motivated the
warning in the first place), it is a useful hint as to why a
merge with renames might have failed.

This patch makes the warning optional based on the code
calling into diffcore. We default to not showing the
warning, but turn it on for merges.

cd676a5136 diff --relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectory
This adds --relative option to the diff family.  When you start
from a subdirectory:

        $ git diff --relative

shows only the diff that is inside your current subdirectory,
and without $prefix part.  People who usually live in
subdirectories may like it.

There are a few things I should also mention about the change:

 - This works not just with diff but also works with the log
   family of commands, but the history pruning is not affected.

   In other words, if you go to a subdirectory, you can say:

        $ git log --relative -p

   but it will show the log message even for commits that do not
   touch the current directory.  You can limit it by giving
   pathspec yourself:

        $ git log --relative -p .

   This originally was not a conscious design choice, but we
   have a way to affect diff pathspec and pruning pathspec
   independently.  IOW "git log --full-diff -p ." tells it to
   prune history to commits that affect the current subdirectory
   but show the changes with full context.  I think it makes
   more sense to leave pruning independent from --relative than
   the obvious alternative of always pruning with the current
   subdirectory, which would break the symmetry.

 - Because this works also with the log family, you could
   format-patch a single change, limiting the effect to your
   subdirectory, like so:

        $ cd gitk-git
        $ git format-patch -1 --relative 911f1eb

   But because that is a special purpose usage, this option will
   never become the default, with or without repository or user
   preference configuration.  The risk of producing a partial
   patch and sending it out by mistake is too great if we did
   so.

 - This is inherently incompatible with --no-index, which is a
   bolted-on hack that does not have much to do with git
   itself.  I didn't bother checking and erroring out on the
   combined use of the options, but probably I should.
