Junio C Hamano	f7c1512af8	[PATCH] Rename/copy detection fix. The rename/copy detection logic in earlier round was only good enough to show patch output and discussion on the mailing list about the diff-raw format updates revealed many problems with it. This patch fixes all the ones known to me, without making things I want to do later impossible, mostly related to patch reordering. (1) Earlier rename/copy detector determined which one is rename and which one is copy too early, which made it impossible to later introduce diffcore transformers to reorder patches. This patch fixes it by moving that logic to the very end of the processing. (2) Earlier output routine diff_flush() was pruning all the "no-change" entries indiscriminatingly. This was done due to my false assumption that one of the requirements in the diff-raw output was not to show such an entry (which resulted in my incorrect comment about "diff-helper never being able to be equivalent to built-in diff driver"). My special thanks go to Linus for correcting me about this. When we produce diff-raw output, for the downstream to be able to tell renames from copies, sometimes it _is_ necessary to output "no-change" entries, and this patch adds diffcore_prune() function for doing it. (3) Earlier diff_filepair structure was trying to be not too specific about rename/copy operations, but the purpose of the structure was to record one or two paths, which _was_ indeed about rename/copy. This patch discards xfrm_msg field which was trying to be generic for this wrong reason, and introduces a couple of fields (rename_score and rename_rank) that are explicitly specific to rename/copy logic. One thing to note is that the information in a single diff_filepair structure _still_ does not distinguish renames from copies, and it is deliberately so. This is to allow patches to be reordered in later stages. (4) This patch also adds some tests about diff-raw format output and makes sure that necessary "no-change" entries appear on the output.

[PATCH] Rename/copy detection fix.

The rename/copy detection logic in earlier round was only good
enough to show patch output and discussion on the mailing list
about the diff-raw format updates revealed many problems with
it.  This patch fixes all the ones known to me, without making
things I want to do later impossible, mostly related to patch
reordering.

 (1) Earlier rename/copy detector determined which one is rename
     and which one is copy too early, which made it impossible
     to later introduce diffcore transformers to reorder
     patches.  This patch fixes it by moving that logic to the
     very end of the processing.

 (2) Earlier output routine diff_flush() was pruning all the
     "no-change" entries indiscriminatingly.  This was done due
     to my false assumption that one of the requirements in the
     diff-raw output was not to show such an entry (which
     resulted in my incorrect comment about "diff-helper never
     being able to be equivalent to built-in diff driver").  My
     special thanks go to Linus for correcting me about this.
     When we produce diff-raw output, for the downstream to be
     able to tell renames from copies, sometimes it _is_
     necessary to output "no-change" entries, and this patch
     adds diffcore_prune() function for doing it.

 (3) Earlier diff_filepair structure was trying to be not too
     specific about rename/copy operations, but the purpose of
     the structure was to record one or two paths, which _was_
     indeed about rename/copy.  This patch discards xfrm_msg
     field which was trying to be generic for this wrong reason,
     and introduces a couple of fields (rename_score and
     rename_rank) that are explicitly specific to rename/copy
     logic.  One thing to note is that the information in a
     single diff_filepair structure _still_ does not distinguish
     renames from copies, and it is deliberately so.  This is to
     allow patches to be reordered in later stages.

 (4) This patch also adds some tests about diff-raw format
     output and makes sure that necessary "no-change" entries
     appear on the output.

[PATCH] Diffcore updates.

This moves the path selection logic from individual programs to a new
diffcore transformer (diff-tree still needs to have its own for
performance reasons).  Also the header printing code in diff-tree was
tweaked not to produce anything when pickaxe is in effect and there is
nothing interesting to report.  An interesting example is the following
in the GIT archive itself:

    $ git-whatchanged -p -C -S'or something in a real script'
