We display empty diffs for files whose timestamps have changed.
Usually, refreshing the index makes those empty diffs go away.
However, when not using the index they are not very useful and
there is no option to suppress them.
This forces on the skip_stat_unmatch option for diff --no-index,
suppressing any empty diffs. This option is also used for diffs
against the index when "diff.autorefreshindex" is set, but that
option does not apply to diff --no-index.

Accept -- as an "end of options" marker even when using --no-index.
Previously, the -- triggered a "normal" index/tree diff and subsequently
failed because of the unrecognized (in that mode) --no-index.
Note that the second loop can treat '--' as a normal option, because
the preceding checks ensure it is the third-to-last argument.
While at it, fix the parsing of "-q" option in --no-index mode as well.

format-patch is most commonly used for multiple patches at once when
sending a patchset, in which case we want to number the patches; on
the other hand, single patches are not usually expected to be
numbered.
In other words, the typical behavior expected from format-patch is the
one obtained by enabling autonumber, so we set it to be the default.
Users that want to disable numbering for a particular patchset can do
so with the existing -N command-line switch. Users that want to
change the default behavior can use the format.numbering config key.

According to the message of commit 0fe7c1de16,
"git diff" with three or more trees expects the merged tree first followed by
the parents, in order. However, this command reversed the order of its
arguments, resulting in confusing diffs. A comment /* Again, the revs are all
reverse */ suggested there was a reason for this, but I can't figure out the
reason, so I removed the reversal of the arguments. Test case included.

Many test scripts assumed that they will start in a 'trash' subdirectory
that is a single level down from the t/ directory, and referred to their
test vector files by asking for files like "../t9999/expect". This will
break if we move the 'trash' subdirectory elsewhere.
To solve this, we earlier introduced "$TEST_DIRECTORY" so that they can
refer to t/ directory reliably. This finally makes all the tests use
it to refer to the outside environment.
With this patch, and a one-liner not included here (because it would
contradict with what Dscho really wants to do):
| diff --git a/t/test-lib.sh b/t/test-lib.sh
| index 70ea7e0..60e69e4 100644
| --- a/t/test-lib.sh

all the tests still pass, but we would want extra sets of eyeballs on this
type of change to really make sure.

Even if "foo" and/or "bar" does not exist in index, "git diff foo bar"
should not change behaviour drastically from "git diff foo bar baz" or
"git diff foo". A feature that "sometimes works and is handy" is an
unreliable cute hack.
"git diff foo bar" outside a git repository continues to work as a more
colourful alternative to "diff -u" as before.

As a general principle, we should not use "git diff" to validate the
results of what git command that is being tested has done. We would not
know if we are testing the command in question, or locating a bug in the
cute hack of "git diff --no-index".
Rather use test_cmp for that purpose.

Panagiotis Issaris reports that some MUAs seem not to like
folded "content-type" and "content-disposition" headers, so this
makes format-patch --attach output to avoid them.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
The existing --attach option did not create a true "attachment"
but multipart/mixed with Content-Disposition: inline. It should
have been with Content-Disposition: attachment.
Introduce --inline to add multipart/mixed that is inlined, and
make --attach to create an attachement.

Now that "git diff" handles stdin and relative paths outside the
working tree correctly, we can convert all instances of "diff -u"
to "git diff".

This changes one test commit in the sequence to have more than
