This makes the tree diff functionality independent of the "git-diff-tree"
program, by splitting the core functionality up into a library file.
This will be needed for when we teach git-rev-list to only follow a
specified set of pathnames, rather than the global revision history.
Most of it is a fairly straightforward code move, but it also involves
some calling convention cleanup, and moving some of the static variables
from diff-tree.c into the options structure.
The actual tree change callback routines also become paramterized by the
diff_options structure, allowing the library functionality to do something
else than just show the diff on stdout.
Right now the only user of this functionality remains git-diff-tree
itself.

When (A,B) ==> (B,C) rename-copy was detected, we incorrectly said
that C was created by copying B. This is because we only check if the
path of rename/copy source still exists in the resulting tree to see
if the file is renamed out of existence. In this case, the new B is
created by copying or renaming A, so the original B is lost and we
should say C is a rename of B not a copy of B.

This removes the separate "formats" for name and name-with-zero-

It also removes the difference between HUMAN and MACHINE formats, and
they both become DIFF_FORMAT_RAW, with the difference being just in the

It also makes the code easier to understand.
Porcelain layers often want to find only names of changed files,
and even with diff-raw output format they end up having to pick
out only the filename. Support --name-only (and --name-only-z

embedded newlines sanely) flag to help them.

This is a halfway between debugging aid and a helper to write an
ultra-smart merge scripts. The new option takes a string that
consists of a list of "status" letters, and limits the diff
output to only those classes of changes, with two exceptions:
- A broken pair (aka "complete rewrite"), does not match D
(deleted) or N (created). Use B to look for them.
- The letter "A" in the diff-filter string does not match
anything itself, but causes the entire diff that contains
selected patches to be output (this behaviour is similar to
that of --pickaxe-all for the -S option).
For example,
$ git-rev-list HEAD |
git-diff-tree --stdin -s -v -B -C --diff-filter=BCR
shows a list of commits that have complete rewrite, copy, or
rename.

As Linus pointed out on the mailing list discussion, -B should
break a files that has many inserts even if it still keeps
enough of the original contents, so that the broken pieces can
later be matched with other files by -M or -C. However, if such
a broken pair does not get picked up by -M or -C, we would want
to apply different criteria; namely, regardless of the amount of
new material in the result, the determination of "rewrite"
should be done by looking at the amount of original material
still left in the result. If you still have the original 97
lines from a 100-line document, it does not matter if you add
your own 13 lines to make a 110-line document, or if you add 903
lines to make a 1000-line document. It is not a rewrite but an
in-place edit. On the other hand, if you did lose 97 lines from
the original, it does not matter if you added 27 lines to make a
30-line document or if you added 997 lines to make a 1000-line
document. You did a complete rewrite in either case.
This patch introduces a post-processing phase that runs after
diffcore-rename matches up broken pairs diffcore-break creates.
The purpose of this post-processing is to pick up these broken
pieces and merge them back into in-place modifications. For
this, the score parameter -B option takes is changed into a pair
of numbers, and it takes "-B99/80" format when fully spelled
out. The first number is the minimum amount of "edit" (same
definition as what diffcore-rename uses, which is "sum of
deletion and insertion") that a modification needs to have to be
broken, and the second number is the minimum amount of "delete"
a surviving broken pair must have to avoid being merged back
together. It can be abbreviated to "-B" to use default for
both, "-B9" or "-B9/" to use 90% for "edit" but default (80%)
for merge avoidance, or "-B/75" to use default (99%) "edit" and
75% for merge avoidance.

The core GIT repository has trees that record regular file mode
in 0664 instead of normalized 0644 pattern. Comparing such a
tree with another tree that records the same file in 0644
pattern without content changes with git-diff-tree causes it to
feed otherwise unmodified pairs to the diff_change() routine,
which triggers a sanity check routine and barfs. This patch
fixes the problem, along with the fix to another caller that
uses unnormalized mode bits to call diff_change() routine in a
similar way.

A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced.
When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete
rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This
makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch.
The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to
specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting
file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and
defaults to 99% if not specified.
As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a
file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create
pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename
detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets
completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on
file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens:
The original change looks like this:
file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0)
file1 --> /dev/null
After diffcore-break runs, it would become this:
file0 --> /dev/null
/dev/null --> file0'
file1 --> /dev/null
Then diffcore-rename matches them up:
file1 --> file0'
The internal score values are finer grained now. Earlier
maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user
visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.

When preparing data to feed the external diff, we should give
the mode we obtained from the caller, even when we are dealing
with a file with 0{40} SHA1 (i.e. the caller said "look at the
filesystem"), since the mode passed by the caller via
diff_addremove() or diff_change() is always trustworthy.
This is _not_ a bugfix --- the existing code stat() on the file
ifself and does the same computation on st.st_mode to compute
the mode the same way the caller did to give the original mode.
We cannot remove the stat() call from here, but the extra

This attempts to optimize "diff-tree -[CM] --stdin", which
compares successible tree pairs. This optimization does not
make much sense for other commands in the diff-* brothers.
When reading from --stdin and using rename/copy detection, the
patch makes diff-tree to read the current index file first.
This is done to reuse the optimization used by diff-cache in the
non-cached case. Similarity estimator can avoid expanding a
blob if the index says what is in the work tree has an exact
copy of that blob already expanded.
Another optimization the patch makes is to check only file sizes
first to terminate similarity estimation early. In order for
this to work, it needs a way to tell the size of the blob
without expanding it. Since an obvious way of doing it, which
is to keep all the blobs previously used in the memory, is too
costly, it does so by keeping the filesize for each object it
has already seen in memory.

Earier version of diffcore-rename used to keep unmodified
filepair in its output so that the last stage of the processing

unmodified filepair must be retained for proper distinction
