Earlier round was not treating symbolic links carefully enough,
and would have produced diff output that renamed/copied then
edited the contents of a symbolic link, which made no practical
sense. Change it to detect only pure renames.

This applies git patches (and old-style unified diffs)
in the index, rather than doing it in the working directory.
That allows for a lot more flexibility, and means that if a
patch fails, we aren't going to mess up the working directory.
NOTE! This is just the first cut at it, and right now it only
parses the incoming patch, it doesn't actually apply it yet.
Thomas Glanzmann points out that it doesn't work well with different
clients accessing the repository over NFS - they have different views
on what the "device" for the filesystem is.
Of course, other filesystems may not even have stable inode numbers.
But we don't care. At least for now.
Add <limits.h> to the include files handled by "cache.h", and remove
extraneous #include directives from various .c files. The rule is that
"cache.h" gets all the basic stuff, so that we'll have as few system
dependencies as possible.

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'

Update the diff-raw format as Linus and I discussed, except that
it does not use sequence of underscore '_' letters to express
nonexistence. All '0' mode is used for that purpose instead.
The new diff-raw format can express rename/copy, and the earlier
restriction that -M and -C _must_ be used with the patch format
output is no longer necessary. The patch makes -M and -C flags
independent of -p flag, so you need to say git-whatchanged -M -p
to get the diff/patch format.
Updated are both documentations and tests.

The heuristics so far was to compare file size change and xdelta
size against the average of file size before and after the
change. This patch uses the smaller of pre- and post- change
file size instead.
It also makes a very small performance fix. I didn't measure
it; I do not expect it to make any practical difference, but
while scanning an already sorted list, breaking out in the
middle is the right thing.

Make the commit explanation buffer larger, and make sure that if
we truncate it, we put a "..." marker there to visually tell people
about the truncation (tested with a much smaller buffer to make
sure it looks sane).
Also make sure that the explanation is properly line-terminated,
and add an extra newline iff we have a diff.
This patch extends diff-cache and diff-files to report the
unmodified files to diff-core as well when -C (copy detection)
is in effect, so that the unmodified files can also be used as
the source candidates. The existing test t4003 has been
extended to cover this case.

This steals the "pickaxe" feature from JIT and make it available
to the bare Plumbing layer. From the command line, the user
gives a string he is intersted in.
Using the diff-core infrastructure previously introduced, it
filters the differences to limit the output only to the diffs
between <src> and <dst> where the string appears only in one but
not in the other. For example:
$ ./git-rev-list HEAD | ./git-diff-tree -Sdiff-tree-helper --stdin -M
would show the diffs that touch the string "diff-tree-helper".
In real software-archaeologist application, you would typically
look for a few to several lines of code and see where that code
came from.
The "pickaxe" module runs after "rename/copy detection" module,
so it even crosses the file rename boundary, as the above
example demonstrates.

This introduces the diff-core, the layer between the diff-tree
family and the external diff interface engine. The calls to the
interface diff-tree family uses (diff_change and diff_addremove)
have not changed and will not change. The purpose of the
diff-core layer is to provide an infrastructure to transform the
set of differences sent from the applications, before sending
them to the external diff interface.
The recently introduced rename detection code has been rewritten
to use the diff-core facility. When applications send in
separate creates and deletes, matching ones are transformed into
a single rename-and-edit diff, and sent out to the external diff
interface as such.
This patch also enhances the rename detection code further to be
able to detect copies. Currently this happens only as long as
copy sources appear as part of the modified files, but there
already is enough provision for callers to report unmodified
files to diff-core, so that they can be also used as copy source
candidates. Extending the callers this way will be done in a
separate patch.
Please see and marvel at how well this works by trying out the
newly added t/t4003-diff-rename-1.sh test script.

This adds the ability to actually create delta objects using a new tool:
git-mkdelta. It uses an ordered list of potential objects to deltafy
against earlier objects in the list. A cap on the depth of delta
references can be provided as well, otherwise the default is to not have
any limit. A limit of 0 will also undeltafy any given object.
Also provided is the beginning of a script to deltafy an entire

This makes the core code aware of delta objects and undeltafy them as
needed. The convention is to use read_sha1_file() to have
undeltafication done automatically (most users do that already so this
is transparent).
If the delta object itself has to be accessed then it must be done
through map_sha1_file() and unpack_sha1_file().
In that context mktag.c has been switched to read_sha1_file() as there
is no reason to do the full map+unpack manually.

Fix various things that sparse complains about:
- use NULL instead of 0
- make sure we declare everything properly, or mark it static
- use proper function declarations ("fn(void)" instead of "fn()")
Sparse is always right.
Instead of swapping the arguments just before output, this patch
makes the swapping happen on the input side of the diff core,
when "reverse-diff" is in effect. This greatly simplifies the
logic, but more importantly it is necessary for upcoming "copy
detection" work.

This one compares two pathnames that may be partial basenames, not
full paths. We need to get the path sorting right, since a directory
name will sort as if it had the final '/' at the end.
Add '-R' flag to diff-tree, and change the test subdirectory
shell files to be executable (something that Junio couldn't
get me to do through the pure patch with my current patch
handling infrastructure).
This cleans up the way calls are made into the diff core from diff-tree
family and diff-helper. Earlier, these programs had "if
(generating_patch)" sprinkled all over the place, but those ugliness are
gone and handled uniformly from the diff core, even when not generating
patch format.
This also allowed diff-cache and diff-files to acquire -R
(reverse) option to generate diff in reverse. Users of
diff-tree can swap two trees easily so I did not add -R there.
[ Linus' note: I'll add -R to "diff-tree" too, since a "commit
diff" doesn't have another tree to switch around: the other
tree is always the parent(s) of the commit ]
