It used to be that diff-tree needed helper support to parse its
raw output to generate diffs, but these days git-diff-* family
produces the same output and the helper is not tied to diff-tree
anymore. Drop "tree" from its name.
This follows the "rename only" commit to adjust the contents of
the files involved.

This commit is done separately to record just the rename and no
file content changes. The changes in the renamed files are recorded
in the next commit.

When checkout-cache attempts to check out a non-directory where
a directory exists on the work tree, or to check out a file
under directory D when path D is a non-directory on the work
tree, the attempt fails. Before running checkout-cache, the
user can run git-ls-files with the -k (killed) option to get a
list of such paths. The tagged output format uses "K" to denote
them. This is useful for Porcelain layer to be careful when
dealing with the recently corrected behaviour of checkout-cache.

H. Peter Anvin mentioned that using SHA1_whatever as an
environment variable name is not nice and we should instead use
names starting with "GIT_" prefix to avoid conflicts. Here is
what this patch does:
* Renames the following environment variables:
New name Old Name
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE AUTHOR_DATE
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL AUTHOR_EMAIL
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME AUTHOR_NAME
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY
* Introduces a compatibility macro, gitenv(), which does an
getenv() and if it fails calls gitenv_bc(), which in turn
picks up the value from old name while giving a warning about
using an old name.
* Changes all users of the environment variable to fetch
environment variable with the new name using gitenv().
* Updates the documentation and scripts shipped with Linus GIT
distribution.
The transition plan is as follows:
* We will keep the backward compatibility list used by gitenv()
for now, so the current scripts and user environments
continue to work as before. The users will get warnings when
they have old name but not new name in their environment to
the stderr.
* The Porcelain layers should start using new names. However,
just in case it ends up calling old Plumbing layer
implementation, they should also export old names, taking
values from the corresponding new names, during the
transition period.
* After a transition period, we would drop the compatibility
support and drop gitenv(). Revert the callers to directly
call getenv() but keep using the new names.
The last part is probably optional and the transition
duration needs to be set to a reasonable value.

When "path" exists as a file or a symlink in the index, an
attempt to add "path/file" is refused because it results in file
vs directory conflict. Similarly when "path/file1",
"path/file2", etc. exist, an attempt to add "path" as a file or
a symlink is refused. With git-update-cache --replace, these
existing entries that conflict with the entry being added are
automatically removed from the cache, with warning messages.

This moves the private "say()" function to pull.c, renames it to
"pull_say()", and introduces a global variable "get_verbosely" that
makes the pull backends report what they fetch. The -v option is
added to git-rpull and git-http-pull to match git-local-pull.
The documentation is updated to describe these pull commands.
