Update the diff-raw format as Linus and I discussed, except that
it does not use sequence of underscore '_' letters to express
nonexistence. All '0' mode is used for that purpose instead.
The new diff-raw format can express rename/copy, and the earlier
restriction that -M and -C _must_ be used with the patch format
output is no longer necessary. The patch makes -M and -C flags
independent of -p flag, so you need to say git-whatchanged -M -p
to get the diff/patch format.
Updated are both documentations and tests.

The heuristics so far was to compare file size change and xdelta
size against the average of file size before and after the
change. This patch uses the smaller of pre- and post- change
file size instead.
It also makes a very small performance fix. I didn't measure
it; I do not expect it to make any practical difference, but
while scanning an already sorted list, breaking out in the
middle is the right thing.

Make the commit explanation buffer larger, and make sure that if
we truncate it, we put a "..." marker there to visually tell people
about the truncation (tested with a much smaller buffer to make
sure it looks sane).
Also make sure that the explanation is properly line-terminated,
and add an extra newline iff we have a diff.
This patch extends diff-cache and diff-files to report the
unmodified files to diff-core as well when -C (copy detection)
is in effect, so that the unmodified files can also be used as
the source candidates. The existing test t4003 has been
extended to cover this case.

This steals the "pickaxe" feature from JIT and make it available
to the bare Plumbing layer. From the command line, the user
gives a string he is intersted in.
Using the diff-core infrastructure previously introduced, it
filters the differences to limit the output only to the diffs
between <src> and <dst> where the string appears only in one but
not in the other. For example:
$ ./git-rev-list HEAD | ./git-diff-tree -Sdiff-tree-helper --stdin -M
would show the diffs that touch the string "diff-tree-helper".
In real software-archaeologist application, you would typically
look for a few to several lines of code and see where that code
came from.
The "pickaxe" module runs after "rename/copy detection" module,
so it even crosses the file rename boundary, as the above
example demonstrates.

This introduces the diff-core, the layer between the diff-tree
family and the external diff interface engine. The calls to the
interface diff-tree family uses (diff_change and diff_addremove)
have not changed and will not change. The purpose of the
diff-core layer is to provide an infrastructure to transform the
set of differences sent from the applications, before sending
them to the external diff interface.
The recently introduced rename detection code has been rewritten
to use the diff-core facility. When applications send in
separate creates and deletes, matching ones are transformed into
a single rename-and-edit diff, and sent out to the external diff
interface as such.
This patch also enhances the rename detection code further to be
able to detect copies. Currently this happens only as long as
copy sources appear as part of the modified files, but there
already is enough provision for callers to report unmodified
files to diff-core, so that they can be also used as copy source
candidates. Extending the callers this way will be done in a
separate patch.
Please see and marvel at how well this works by trying out the
newly added t/t4003-diff-rename-1.sh test script.

This adds the ability to actually create delta objects using a new tool:
git-mkdelta. It uses an ordered list of potential objects to deltafy
against earlier objects in the list. A cap on the depth of delta
references can be provided as well, otherwise the default is to not have
any limit. A limit of 0 will also undeltafy any given object.
Also provided is the beginning of a script to deltafy an entire

This makes the core code aware of delta objects and undeltafy them as
needed. The convention is to use read_sha1_file() to have
undeltafication done automatically (most users do that already so this
is transparent).
If the delta object itself has to be accessed then it must be done
through map_sha1_file() and unpack_sha1_file().
In that context mktag.c has been switched to read_sha1_file() as there
is no reason to do the full map+unpack manually.

Fix various things that sparse complains about:
- use NULL instead of 0
- make sure we declare everything properly, or mark it static
- use proper function declarations ("fn(void)" instead of "fn()")
Sparse is always right.
Instead of swapping the arguments just before output, this patch
makes the swapping happen on the input side of the diff core,
when "reverse-diff" is in effect. This greatly simplifies the
logic, but more importantly it is necessary for upcoming "copy
detection" work.

This one compares two pathnames that may be partial basenames, not
full paths. We need to get the path sorting right, since a directory
name will sort as if it had the final '/' at the end.
Add '-R' flag to diff-tree, and change the test subdirectory
shell files to be executable (something that Junio couldn't
get me to do through the pure patch with my current patch
handling infrastructure).
This cleans up the way calls are made into the diff core from diff-tree
family and diff-helper. Earlier, these programs had "if
(generating_patch)" sprinkled all over the place, but those ugliness are
gone and handled uniformly from the diff core, even when not generating
patch format.
This also allowed diff-cache and diff-files to acquire -R
(reverse) option to generate diff in reverse. Users of
diff-tree can swap two trees easily so I did not add -R there.
[ Linus' note: I'll add -R to "diff-tree" too, since a "commit
diff" doesn't have another tree to switch around: the other
tree is always the parent(s) of the commit ]
Also -M<digits-as-mantissa> suggestion made by Linus has been
implemented.

This moves the git manpage to man7, since "git" isn't a direct command
per se. It also does two other things:
* Sort of works around the asciidoc 6.0.3 bug where the manpages all
get called "git.1". It just renames them to what they should have
been called.
* Fixes a cut-n-paste bug in git-diff-helper.txt that was making
asciidoc choke.

This rips out the rename detection engine from diff-helper and moves it
to the diff core, and updates the internal calling convention used by
diff-tree family into the diff core. In order to give the same option
name to diff-tree family as well as to diff-helper, I've changed the
earlier diff-helper '-r' option to '-M' (stands for Move; sorry but the
natural abbreviation 'r' for 'rename' is already taken for 'recursive').
Although I did a fair amount of test with the git-diff-tree with
existing rename commits in the core GIT repository, this should still be
considered beta (preview) release. This patch depends on the diff-delta
infrastructure just committed.
This implements almost everything I wanted to see in this series of
patch, except a few minor cleanups in the calling convention into diff
core, but that will be a separate cleanup patch.

I just remembered why I placed that bogus "sb->len ==0 implies

to catch the normal EOF (that is, line termination immediately
followed by EOF) case. "if (feof(fp))" fires when we have
already read the eof, not when we are about read it.

This normally doesn't matter, but if you have a filename that is
sometimes a directory and sometimes a regular file (or symlink),
we don't want the regular file case to trigger a "partial match".
We used to trigger the "interesting subdirectory" check for any
matching name that started with the same character series, regardless
of whether it had the matching slash or not.
We can't just do the "sha1_to_hex()" thing directly, since the
buffer in question will be overwritten by the name of the parent.
So teach diff_tree_commit() to generate the proper hex name itself.
We use "--" to mark end of command line switches, not "-". Also,
allow more flexibility in the passed-in sha1 names, in that a
single sha1 uses the "commit-diff" logic that compares against
its parent(s).
This patch adds a framework and a stub implementation of rename
detection to diff-helper program.
The current stub code is just enough to detect pure renames in
diff-tree output and not fancier. The plan is perhaps to use
the same delta code when Nico's delta storage patch is merged
for similarity evaluation purposes.
