I just remembered why I placed that bogus "sb->len ==0 implies
sb->eof" condition there. We need at least something like this
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.

Introduce xmalloc and xrealloc to die gracefully with a descriptive
message when out of memory, rather than taking a SIGSEGV.

This patch introduces a new program, diff-tree-helper. It reads
output from diff-cache and diff-tree, and produces a patch file.
The diff format customization can be done the same way the
show-diff uses; the same external diff interface introduced by
the previous patch to drive diff from show-diff is used so this
is not surprising.
It is used like the following examples:
$ diff-cache --cached -z <tree> | diff-tree-helper -z -R paths...
$ diff-tree -r -z <tree1> <tree2> | diff-tree-helper -z paths...
- As usual, the use of the -z flag is recommended in the script
to pass NUL-terminated filenames through the pipe between
commands.
- The -R flag is used to generate reverse diff. It does not
matter for diff-tree case, but it is sometimes useful to get
a patch in the desired direction out of diff-cache.
- The paths parameters are used to restrict the paths that
appears in the output. Again this is useful to use with
diff-cache, which, unlike diff-tree, does not take such paths
restriction parameters.
