71482d389d diff: allow --patch & cie to override -s/--no-patch
All options that trigger a patch output now override --no-patch.

The case of --binary deserves extra attention: the name may suggest that
it turns a normal patch into a binary patch, but it actually already
enables patch output when normally disabled (e.g. "git log --binary"
displays a patch), hence it makes sense for "git show --no-patch
--binary" to display the binary patch.

9c5e6c802c Convert "struct cache_entry *" to "const ..." wherever possible
I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **"
to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The
question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk
changes in the index. The result is

 - diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE

 - name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED

 - preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and
   builtin/update-index: obvious

 - entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via
   fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry
   *" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and
   builtin/checkout.c

 - builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set
   CE_UPDATE

Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most
interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info
and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain
commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes.

So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a
flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except
unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny
behind read-cache's back.

The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if
anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then
this:

    diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h
    index 430d021..1692891 100644

36617af7ed diff: add --ignore-blank-lines option
The goal of the patch is to introduce the GNU diff
-B/--ignore-blank-lines as closely as possible. The short option is not
available because it's already used for "break-rewrites".

When this option is used, git-diff will not create hunks that simply
add or remove empty lines, but will still show empty lines
addition/suppression if they are close enough to "valuable" changes.

There are two differences between this option and GNU diff -B option:
- GNU diff doesn't have "--inter-hunk-context", so this must be handled
- The following sequence looks like a bug (context is displayed twice):

    $ seq 5 >file1
    $ cat <<EOF >file2
    change
    1
    2

    3
    4
    5
    change
    EOF
    $ diff -u -B file1 file2
    --- file1	2013-06-08 22:13:04.471517834 +0200
    +++ file2	2013-06-08 22:13:23.275517855 +0200

    @@ -3,3 +5,4 @@
     3
     4

    +change

So here is a more thorough description of the option:
- real changes are interesting
- blank lines that are close enough (less than context size) to
interesting changes are considered interesting (recursive definition)
- "context" lines are used around each hunk of interesting changes
- If two hunks are separated by less than "inter-hunk-context", they
will be merged into one.

The implementation does the "interesting changes selection" in a single
pass.

0895c6d4c0 diff: allow unstuck arguments with --diff-algorithm
The argument to --diff-algorithm is mandatory, so there is no reason to
require the argument to be stuck to the option with '='.  Change this
for consistency with other Git commands.

Note that this does not change the handling of diff-algorithm in
merge-recursive.c since the primary interface to that is via the -X
option to 'git merge' where the unstuck form does not make sense.

dd281f09b7 diff: prevent pprint_rename from underrunning input
The logic described in d020e27 (diff: Fix rename pretty-print when
suffix and prefix overlap, 2013-02-23) is wrong: The proof in the
comment is valid only if both strings are the same length.  *One* of
old/new can reach a-1 (b-1, resp.) if 'a' is a suffix of 'b' (or vice
versa).

Since the intent was to let the loop run down to the '/' at the end of
the common prefix, fix it by making that distinction explicit: if
there is no prefix, allow no underrun.

d020e27fda diff: Fix rename pretty-print when suffix and prefix overlap
When considering a rename for two files that have a suffix and a prefix
that can overlap, a confusing line is shown. As an example, renaming
"a/b/b/c" to "a/b/c" shows "a/b/{ => }/b/c".

Currently, what we do is calculate the common prefix ("a/b/"), and the
common suffix ("/b/c"), but the same "/b/" is actually counted both in
prefix and suffix. Then when calculating the size of the non-common part,
we end-up with a negative value which is reset to 0, thus the "{ => }".

Do not allow the common suffix to overlap the common prefix and stop
when reaching a "/" that would be in both.

07ab4dec80 config: Introduce diff.algorithm variable
Some users or projects prefer different algorithms over others, e.g.
patience over myers or similar. However, specifying appropriate
argument every time diff is to be used is impractical. Moreover,
creating an alias doesn't play nicely with other tools based on diff
(git-show for instance). Hence, a configuration variable which is able
to set specific algorithm is needed. For now, these four values are
accepted: 'myers' (which has the same effect as not setting the config
variable at all), 'minimal', 'patience' and 'histogram'.

82dfc2c44e diff --stat: do not count "unmerged" entries
Even though we show a separate *UNMERGED* entry in the patch and
diffstat output (or in the --raw format, for that matter) in
addition to and separately from the diff against the specified stage
(defaulting to #2) for unmerged paths, they should not be counted in
the total number of files affected---that would lead to counting the
same path twice.

The separation done by the previous step makes this fix simple and
straightforward.  Among the filepairs in diff_queue, paths that
weren't modified, and the extra "unmerged" entries do not count as
total number of files.

a20d3c0de1 diff --stat: move the "total count" logic to the last loop
The diffstat generation logic, with --stat-count limit, is
implemented as three loops.

 - The first counts the width necessary to show stats up to
   specified number of entries, and notes up to how many entries in
   the data we need to iterate to show the graph;

 - The second iterates that many times to draw the graph, adjusts
   the number of "total modified files", and counts the total
   added/deleted lines for the part that was shown in the graph;

 - The third iterates over the remainder and only does the part to
   count "total added/deleted lines" and to adjust "total modified
   files" without drawing anything.

Move the logic to count added/deleted lines and modified files from
the second loop to the third loop.

This incidentally fixes a bug.  The third loop was not filtering
binary changes (counted in bytes) from the total added/deleted as it
should.  The second loop implemented this correctly, so if a binary
change appeared earlier than the --stat-count cutoff, the code
counted number of added/deleted lines correctly, but if it appeared
beyond the cutoff, the number of lines would have mixed with the
byte count in the buggy third loop.

4914c9629c Move setup_diff_pager to libgit.a
This is used by diff-no-index.c, part of libgit.a while it stays in
builtin/diff.c. Move it to diff.c so that we won't get undefined
reference if a program that uses libgit.a happens to pull it in.

While at it, move check_pager from git.c to pager.c. It makes more
sense there and pager.c is also part of libgit.a

02e8ca0e50 parse_dirstat_params(): use string_list to split comma-separated string
Use string_list_split_in_place() to split the comma-separated
parameters string.  This simplifies the code and also fixes a bug: the
old code made calls like

    memcmp(p, "lines", p_len)

which needn't work if p_len is different than the length of the
constant string (and could illegally access memory if p_len is larger
than the length of the constant string).

When p_len was less than the length of the constant string, the old
code would have allowed some abbreviations to be accepted (e.g., "cha"
for "changes") but this seems to have been a bug rather than a
feature, because (1) it is not documented; (2) no attempt was made to
handle ambiguous abbreviations, like "c" for "changes" vs
"cumulative".

74faaa16f0 Fix "git diff --stat" for interesting - but empty - file changes
The behavior of "git diff --stat" is rather odd for files that have
zero lines of changes: it will discount them entirely unless they were
renames.

Which means that the stat output will simply not show files that only
had "other" changes: they were created or deleted, or their mode was
changed.

Now, those changes do show up in the summary, but so do renames, so
the diffstat logic is inconsistent. Why does it show renames with zero
lines changed, but not mode changes or added files with zero lines
changed?

So change the logic to not check for "is_renamed", but for
"is_interesting" instead, where "interesting" is judged to be any
action but a pure data change (because a pure data change with zero
data changed really isn't worth showing, if we ever get one in our
diffpairs).

So if you did

   chmod +x Makefile
   git diff --stat

before, it would show empty (" 0 files changed"), with this it shows

 Makefile | 0
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

which I think is a more correct diffstat (and then with "--summary" it
shows *what* the metadata change to Makefile was - this is completely
consistent with our handling of renamed files).

Side note: the old behavior was *really* odd. With no changes at all,
"git diff --stat" output was empty. With just a chmod, it said "0
files changed". No way is our legacy behavior sane.

6468a4e548 diff: diff.context configuration gives default to -U
Introduce a configuration variable diff.context that tells
Porcelain commands to use a non-default number of context
lines instead of 3 (the default).  With this variable, users
do not have to keep repeating "git log -U8" from the command
line; instead, it becomes sufficient to say "git config
diff.context 8" just once.

aebbcf5797 diff: accept --no-follow option
Once you do

	$ alias glogone git log --follow

there is no way to say

	$ glogone --no-follow ...

Not that "log --follow" is all that useful, but it is cheap to
support the common "you can defeat an undesirable option with a
'no-' variant of it later on the command line" pattern.
