Fix update-cache to compare the blob of a symlink against the link-target
and not the file it points to. Also ignore all permissions applied to
links.
Thanks to Greg for recognizing this while he added our list of symlinks
back to the udev repository.

This also regularizes the make. The source files themselves don't get
the "git-" prefix, because that's just inconvenient. So instead we just
make the rule that "git-xxxx" depends on "xxxx.c", and do that for
all the core programs (ie the old "git-mktag.c" got renamed to just
"mktag.c" to match everything else).
And "show-diff" got renamed to "git-diff-files" while at it, since
that's what it really should be to match the other git-diff-xxx cases.
With the recent "no-patch-by-default" change, the -s flag to the
show-diff command (and silent variable in the show-diff.c) became
meaningless. This deprecates it.
Cogito uses "show-diff -s" for the purpose of "I do not want the patch
text. I just want to know if something has potentially changed, in
which case I know you will have some output. I'll run update-cache
--refresh if you say something", so we cannot barf on seeing -s on our
command line yet.

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.

With this patch, the non-core'ish part of show-diff command that
invokes an external "diff" comand to obtain patches is split
into a separate file. The next patch will introduce a new
command, diff-tree-helper, which uses this common diff interface
to format diff-tree and diff-cache output into a patch form.

This adds -R option to obtain reverse diff.
It may be useful in the merge workflow. After the base of the working
directory is merged and commited, in the working directory:
$ read-tree <tree-id-of-merged-tree>
$ show-diff -R
to re-validate if upstream changes make sense, and/or revert or
conflict with local changes you have in the working files.

When run on unmerged dircache, show-diff compares the working
file with each non-empty stage for that path. Two out of three
times, this is not very helpful. This patch makes it report the
unmergedness only once per each path and avoids running the
actual diff.
Upper layer SCMs like Cogito are expected to find out mode/SHA1
for each stage by using "show-files --stage" and run the diff
itself. This would result in more sensible diffs.

The show-diff command uses a variable "new" but it is always
used to point at the original data recorded in the dircache
before the user started editing in the working file. Rename it
to "old" to avoid confusion.

The command line for running "diff" command is built without
taking shell metacharacters into account. A malicious dircache
entry "foo 2>bar" (yes, a filename with space) would result in
creating a file called "bar" with the error message "diff: foo:
No such file or directory" in it.
This is not just a user screwing over himself. Such a dircache
can be created as a result of a merge with tree from others.
Here is a fix.

This patch adds the -z option to the show-diff command,
primarily for use by scripts. The information emitted is
similar to that of -q option, but in a more machine readable
form. Records are terminated with NUL instead of LF, so that
the scripts can deal with pathnames with embedded newlines.

SCMs have ways to say "I want diff only this particular file",
or "I want diff files under this directory". This patch teaches
show-diff to do something similar. Without command line
arguments, it still examines everything in the dircache as

This adds the '-q' option for show-diff.c to squelch complaints for
missing files.
It is handy if you want to run it in the merge temporary directory after
running merge-trees with its minimum checkout mode, which is the
default, because you would not find any files other than the ones that
needs human validation after the merge there.
It also fixes the argument parsing bug Paul Mackerras noticed in

This allows using a git tree over NFS with different byte order, and
makes it possible to just copy a fully populated repository and have
the end result immediately usable (needing just a refresh to update
the stat information).
My convention is that contrary to files trimmed to zero size,
deleted files always go to /dev/null. This patch turns show-diff
to abide this.

This patch adds a -s flag for show-diff, which will surpress the

The ideas is that using the show-diff to generate the
patch including deleted and new file (in the next patch).
So we don't have to do the temp new file diff dance on the
script.
The cache index now contain enough information to generate
the whole patch. So the GIT SCM don't need separate command
for check out file to edit or delete. Just do the edit and
remove and GIT will generate the correct patch.
It still require tell GIT to add new files.
The tool interface sucks (especially "committing" information, which is just
me doing everything by hand from the command line), but I think this is in
theory actually a viable way of describing the world. So copyright it.
