This allows you to trivially do fancy and readable output. Something like
git-rev-list HEAD | git-diff-tree -p -v --stdin kernel/ | less -S
gives a nice output of what has changed in the kernel/ subdirectory lately.
This only shows the tree headers when something actually changed. Also,
add a "silent" mode, which doesn't actually show the changes at all,
just the commit information.
This means that you can do
git-rev-list HEAD --max-count=10 | git-diff-tree --stdin update-cache.c
to see which (if any) of the last ten commits changed update-cache.c.
Use the "-m" flag to see merges too. Normally they are suppressed.
Mention the '-p' option in the usage help string of git-diff-tree.

This allows the programs to use various simplified versions of
the SHA1 names, eg just say "HEAD" for the SHA1 pointed to by
the .git/HEAD file etc.
For example, this commit has been done with
git-commit-tree $(git-write-tree) -p HEAD
instead of the traditional "$(cat .git/HEAD)" syntax.
This patch renames read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1() to
read_object_with_reference() and extends it to automatically
dereference not just "commit" objects but "tag" objects. With
this patch, you can say e.g.:
ls-tree $tag
read-tree -m $(merge-base $tag $HEAD) $tag $HEAD
diff-cache $tag
diff-tree $tag $HEAD

This makes diff-tree -p imply recursive behaviour.
Other commands in the family always takes a flat universe view
so this is not even needed.

This uses the reworked diff interface to generate patches directly out
of diff-tree when -p is specified.

This is based on a patch by David Woodhouse, but with the selection
tests much simplified and streamlined.
It makes diff-tree take extra arguments, specifying the files or
directories which should be considered "interesting". Changes in
uninteresting directories are not reported.

Usage string fixes to make maintenance easier (only one instance
of a string to update not multiple copies). I've spotted and
corrected inconsistent usage text in diff-tree while doing this.
Also diff-cache and read-tree usage text have been corrected to
match their up-to-date features. Earlier, neither "--cached"
form of diff-cache nor "-m single-merge" form of read-tree were
described.

Sometimes it's just easier to not have to look up the "commit"->"tree"
translation by hand first. It's trivial to do inside diff-tree, and
it's just being polite.
Changes diff-tree output format so that fields are separated by tabs instead of
spaces (readibility, parseability), and tree entry type is listed along the
entry (avoids having to figure that out from the mode in the scripts).
This is what my scripts expect.

Now there is error() for "library" errors and die() for fatal "application"
errors. usage() is now used strictly only for usage errors.

No, this doesn't make them easy to use, but makes diff-tree use
the "-r" flag for "recursive" (not "-R") and makes commit-tree
use AUTHOR_xxx environment flags (not COMMITTER_xxx) to match what
it actually does.
And, perhaps more importantly, fix the fact that if a filename changed from a
directory to a file (or vice versa), we must consider it a delete and an add,
not a "filechange".
During original development I had different name-bases for source and
destination, so that I could make the output show how it got removed
from "tree a" and added to "tree b", but we don't want that. We only
do recursive diffs on anything where the bases are exactly the same,
so we might as well just work with a single base.
Also, make the output for "changed" be a single line, since people
hated the separate '<' / '>' format. They were right. It sucked.
