While manually resolving a merge conflict, being able to run
diff-cache without --cache option between files in the work tree
and either of the ancestor trees is helpful to verify the hand
merged result. However, diff-cache refuses to handle unmerged
paths, even when run without --cache option.
This changes the behaviour so that the above use case will
report the differences between the compared tree and the magic
0{40} SHA1 (i.e. "look at the work tree"). When there is no
corresponding file in the work tree, or when the command is run
with "--cache" option, it continues to report "unmerged".

Allow to store and track symlink in the repository. A symlink is stored
the same way as a regular file, only with the appropriate mode bits set.
The symlink target is therefore stored in a blob object.
This will hopefully make our udev repository fully functional. :)

This allows the programs to use various simplified versions of
the SHA1 names, eg just say "HEAD" for the SHA1 pointed to by
the .git/HEAD file etc.
For example, this commit has been done with
git-commit-tree $(git-write-tree) -p HEAD
instead of the traditional "$(cat .git/HEAD)" syntax.
This patch renames read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1() to
read_object_with_reference() and extends it to automatically
dereference not just "commit" objects but "tag" objects. With
this patch, you can say e.g.:
ls-tree $tag
read-tree -m $(merge-base $tag $HEAD) $tag $HEAD
diff-cache $tag
diff-tree $tag $HEAD

Nobody uses return value from show_new_file() function but it is
defined as returning int and falls off at the end without
returning. Make it void.

Junio pointed out that diff-cache didn't handle the case of a new file
that was different from its index entry correctly. It needs to check
the working copy the same way the modified file case did.
This uses the reworked diff interface to generate patches directly out
of diff-cache when -p is specified.

We've always warned about them properly, but we would then do the
wrong thing if that filename existed in the tree we were comparing
against (we'd think the file has been deleted, because we forgot
about the unmerged cases).
diff-cache attempts to first remove all merge entries before letting the
diff_cache() do its work, but it incorrectly stops after the first
merge-entry it finds.
Fix by just replacing the "break" with a "continue".

Added files were errorneously reported with the - prefix by diff-cache,
obviously leading to great confusion.

This one is about a million times simpler, and much more likely to be
correct too.
Instead of trying to match up a tree object against the index, we just
read in the tree object side-by-side into the index, and just walk the
resulting index file. This was what all the read-tree cleanups were
all getting to.
Usage string fixes to make maintenance easier (only one instance
of a string to update not multiple copies). I've spotted and
corrected inconsistent usage text in diff-tree while doing this.
Also diff-cache and read-tree usage text have been corrected to
match their up-to-date features. Earlier, neither "--cached"
form of diff-cache nor "-m single-merge" form of read-tree were
described.

Updates diff-cache.c to use read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1()
function. The end-user visible result is the same --- the command
takes either tree or commit ID.

the current cache state and/or working directory.
Very useful to see what has changed since the last commit, either in
the index file or in the whole working directory.
Also very possibly very buggy. Matching the two up is not entirely
trivial.
