62c64895cf "diff --check" should affect exit status
"git diff" has a --check option that can be used to check for whitespace
problems but it only reported by printing warnings to the
console.

Now when the --check option is used we give a non-zero exit status,
making "git diff --check" nicer to use in scripts and hooks.

c1a95fa629 Documentation: customize diff-options depending on particular command
Customize diff-options depending on particular command as follows,
mostly to make git-diff and git-format-patch manuals less confusing:

* git-format-patch:

  - Mark --patch-with-stat as being the default.

  - Change -p description so that it matches what it actually does and
    so that it doesn't refer to absent "section on generating
    patches".

* git-diff: mark -p as being the default.

* git-diff-index/git-diff-files/git-diff-tree: mark --raw as being
  the default.

72909befaa Add diff-option --ext-diff
To prevent funky games with external diff engines, git-log and
friends prevent external diff engines from being called. That makes
sense in the context of git-format-patch or git-rebase.

However, for "git log -p" it is not so nice to get the message
that binary files cannot be compared, while "git diff" has no
problems with them, if you provided an external diff driver.

With this patch, "git log --ext-diff -p" will do what you expect,
and the option "--no-ext-diff" can be used to override that
setting.

ca6c097089 Teach diff to imply --find-copies-harder upon -C -C
Earlier, a second "-C" on the command line had no effect.
But "--find-copies-harder" is so long to type, let's make doubled -C
enable that option.  It is in line with how "git blame" handles such
doubled options to mean "work harder".

a6080a0a44 War on whitespace
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time.  There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors).  The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

ebd124c678 make commit message a little more consistent and conforting
It is nicer to let the user know when a commit succeeded all the time,
not only the first time.  Also the commit sha1 is much more useful than
the tree sha1 in this case.

This patch also introduces a -q switch to supress this message as well
as the summary of created/deleted files.

d01d8c6782 Support for pickaxe matching regular expressions
git-diff-* --pickaxe-regex will change the -S pickaxe to match
POSIX extended regular expressions instead of fixed strings.

The regex.h library is a rather stupid interface and I like pcre too, but
with any luck it will be everywhere we will want to run Git on, it being
POSIX.2 and all. I'm not sure if we can expect platforms like AIX to
conform to POSIX.2 or if win32 has regex.h. We might add a flag to
Makefile if there is a portability trouble potential.
