range-diff: first rudimentary implementation At this stage, `git range-diff` can determine corresponding commits of two related commit ranges. This makes use of the recently introduced implementation of the linear assignment algorithm. The core of this patch is a straight port of the ideas of tbdiff, the apparently dormant project at https://github.com/trast/tbdiff. The output does not at all match `tbdiff`'s output yet, as this patch really concentrates on getting the patch matching part right. Note: due to differences in the diff algorithm (`tbdiff` uses the Python module `difflib`, Git uses its xdiff fork), the cost matrix calculated by `range-diff` is different (but very similar) to the one calculated by `tbdiff`. Therefore, it is possible that they find different matching commits in corner cases (e.g. when a patch was split into two patches of roughly equal length).

#ifndef RANGE_DIFF_H
#define RANGE_DIFF_H
range-diff: also show the diff between patches Just like tbdiff, we now show the diff between matching patches. This is a "diff of two diffs", so it can be a bit daunting to read for the beginner. An alternative would be to display an interdiff, i.e. the hypothetical diff which is the result of first reverting the old diff and then applying the new diff. Especially when rebasing frequently, an interdiff is often not feasible, though: if the old diff cannot be applied in reverse (due to a moving upstream), an interdiff can simply not be inferred. This commit brings `range-diff` closer to feature parity with regard to tbdiff. To make `git range-diff` respect e.g. color.diff.* settings, we have to adjust git_branch_config() accordingly. Note: while we now parse diff options such as --color, the effect is not yet the same as in tbdiff, where also the commit pairs would be colored. This is left for a later commit. Note also: while tbdiff accepts the `--no-patches` option to suppress these diffs between patches, we prefer the `-s` (or `--no-patch`) option that is automatically supported via our use of diff_opt_parse(). And finally note: to support diff options, we have to call `parse_options()` such that it keeps unknown options, and then loop over those and let `diff_opt_parse()` handle them. After that loop, we have to call `parse_options()` again, to make sure that no unknown options are left.

range-diff: publish default creation factor The range-diff back-end allows its heuristic to be tweaked via the "creation factor". git-range-diff, the only client of the back-end, defaults the factor to 60% (hard-coded in builtin/range-diff.c), but allows the user to override it with the --creation-factor option. Publish the default range factor to allow new callers of the range-diff back-end to default to the same value without duplicating the hard-coded constant, and to avoid worrying about various callers becoming out-of-sync if the default ever needs to change.

format-patch: do not let its diff-options affect --range-diff Stop leaking how the primary output of format-patch is customized to the range-diff machinery and instead let the latter use its own "reasonable default", in order to correct the breakage introduced by a5170794 ("Merge branch 'ab/range-diff-no-patch'", 2018-11-18) on the 'master' front. "git format-patch --range-diff..." without any weird diff option started to include the "range-diff --stat" output, which is rather useless right now, that made the whole thing unusable and this is probably the least disruptive way to whip the codebase into a shippable shape. We may want to later make the range-diff driven by format-patch more configurable, but that would have to wait until we have a good design. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

range-diff: relieve callers of low-level configuration burden There are a number of very low-level configuration details which need to be managed precisely to generate a proper range-diff. In particular, 'diff_options' output format, header suppression, indentation, and dual-color mode must all be set appropriately to ensure proper behavior. Handle these details locally in the libified range-diff back-end rather than forcing each caller to have specialized knowledge of these implementation details, and to avoid duplication as new callers are added. While at it, localize these tweaks to be active only while generating the range-diff, so they don't clobber the caller-provided 'diff_options', which might be used beyond range-diff generation.
