This applies the fragments in memory, but doesn't actually
write the results out to the files yet. But we now do all the
difficult parts, the rest is just basically writing the
results out and updating the index.
Right now it requires that the fragment offsets be exact,
and it doesn't actually apply the fragment yet, but it
does find where it goes and verify the data.
Next step: actually applying the fragment changes.
It had already tried to do that, but with the independent
rounding of the number of '+' and '-' characters, it would
sometimes do 80-char lines after all.
The way broken deletes and creates are shown in the -p
(diff-patch) output format has become consistent with how
rename/copy edits are shown. They will show "dissimilarity
index" value, immediately following the "deleted file mode" and
"new file mode" lines.
The git-apply is taught to grok such an extended header.

Make it a clear two-phase thing: first a read-only parse of
the patch itself (which is independent of any current index
information), and then the second phase actually uses the patch.
The second phase might not be a real apply, it could be just a
diffstat, for example. Which is trivial to do once the patch is
parsed.
Not important but I am a bit annoyed by gcc complaining about the
control falling out of the function without returning value.

There's some duplication of filenames when doing filename operations
(creates, deletes, renames and copies), and this makes us verify that
the pathnames match when they should.
.. and print out the information. This sets up all the pathname
information, and whether it's a new file, deleted file, rename,
copy or whatever.
It's slowly getting to the point where it all comes together,
and we can actually apply all the information that we've gathered.
In particular, give line numbers when detecting corrupt patches.
This makes the tool a lot more friendly (indeed, much more so
than regular "patch", I think).
This applies git patches (and old-style unified diffs)
in the index, rather than doing it in the working directory.
That allows for a lot more flexibility, and means that if a
patch fails, we aren't going to mess up the working directory.
NOTE! This is just the first cut at it, and right now it only
parses the incoming patch, it doesn't actually apply it yet.
