Merge two hunks if there is only the specified number of otherwise unshown
context between them. For --inter-hunk-context=1, the resulting patch has
the same number of lines but shows uninterrupted context instead of a
context header line in between.
Patches generated with this option are easier to read but are also more
likely to conflict if the file to be patched contains other changes.
This patch keeps the default for this option at 0. It is intended to just
make the feature available in order to see its advantages and downsides.

The new option --ignore-submodules can now be used to ignore changes in
submodules.
Why? Sometimes it is not interesting when a submodule changed.
For example, when reordering some commits in the superproject, a dirty
submodule is usually totally uninteresting. So we will use this option
in git-rebase to test for a dirty working tree.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
This adds --relative option to the diff family. When you start
from a subdirectory:
$ git diff --relative
shows only the diff that is inside your current subdirectory,
and without $prefix part. People who usually live in
subdirectories may like it.
There are a few things I should also mention about the change:
- This works not just with diff but also works with the log
family of commands, but the history pruning is not affected.
In other words, if you go to a subdirectory, you can say:
$ git log --relative -p
but it will show the log message even for commits that do not
touch the current directory. You can limit it by giving
pathspec yourself:
$ git log --relative -p .
This originally was not a conscious design choice, but we
have a way to affect diff pathspec and pruning pathspec
independently. IOW "git log --full-diff -p ." tells it to
prune history to commits that affect the current subdirectory
but show the changes with full context. I think it makes
more sense to leave pruning independent from --relative than
the obvious alternative of always pruning with the current
subdirectory, which would break the symmetry.
- Because this works also with the log family, you could
format-patch a single change, limiting the effect to your
subdirectory, like so:
$ cd gitk-git
$ git format-patch -1 --relative 911f1eb
But because that is a special purpose usage, this option will
never become the default, with or without repository or user
preference configuration. The risk of producing a partial
patch and sending it out by mistake is too great if we did
so.
- This is inherently incompatible with --no-index, which is a
bolted-on hack that does not have much to do with git
itself. I didn't bother checking and erroring out on the
combined use of the options, but probably I should.

- Change -p description so that it matches what it actually does and
so that it doesn't refer to absent "section on generating

* git-diff: mark -p as being the default.

To prevent funky games with external diff engines, git-log and
friends prevent external diff engines from being called. That makes
sense in the context of git-format-patch or git-rebase.
However, for "git log -p" it is not so nice to get the message
that binary files cannot be compared, while "git diff" has no
problems with them, if you provided an external diff driver.
With this patch, "git log --ext-diff -p" will do what you expect,
and the option "--no-ext-diff" can be used to override that
setting.
