[PATCH] Diff-tree-helper take two.

This reworks the diff-tree-helper and show-diff to further make external
diff command interface simpler.

These commands now honor GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment variable which
can point at an arbitrary program that takes 7 parameters:

  name file1 file1-sha1 file1-mode file2 file2-sha1 file2-mode

The parameters for an external diff command are as follows:

  name        this invocation of the command is to emit diff
	      for the named cache/tree entry.

  file1       pathname that holds the contents of the first
	      file.  This can be a file inside the working
	      tree, or a temporary file created from the blob
	      object, or /dev/null.  The command should not
	      attempt to unlink it -- the temporary is
	      unlinked by the caller.

  file1-sha1  sha1 hash if file1 is a blob object, or "."
	      otherwise.

  file1-mode  mode bits for file1, or "." for a deleted file.

If GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment variable is not set, the
default is to invoke diff with the set of parameters old
show-diff used to use.  This built-in implementation honors the
GIT_DIFF_CMD and GIT_DIFF_OPTS environment variables as before.

[PATCH] Introduce diff-tree-helper.

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.
