There are two ways a user might want to use "diff --relative":
1. For a file in a directory, like "subdir/file", the user
can use "--relative=subdir/" to strip the directory.
2. To strip part of a filename, like "foo-10", they can
use "--relative=foo-".
We currently handle both of those situations. However, if the user passes
"--relative=subdir" (without the trailing slash), we produce inconsistent
results. For the unified diff format, we collapse the double-slash of
"a//file" correctly into "a/file". But for other formats (raw, stat,
name-status), we end up with "/file".
We can do what the user means here and strip the extra "/" (and only a
slash). We are not hurting any existing users of (2) above with this
behavior change because the existing output for this case was nonsensical.

When --graph is in effect, the line-prefix typically has colored graph
line segments and ends with reset. The color sequence "set" given to
this function is for showing the metainfo part of the patch text and
(1) it should not be applied to the graph lines, and (2) it will be
reset at the end of line_prefix so it won't be in effect anyway.

In some use cases it is not desirable that "git status" considers
submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen
e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all
build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream
developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules"
option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report
them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content.
Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they
just contain changes to their work tree (this was the behavior before
1.7.0). An example for that are scripts which just want to check for
submodule commits while ignoring any changes to the work tree. Also users
having large submodules known not to change might want to use this option,
as the - sometimes substantial - time it takes to scan the submodule work
tree(s) is saved when using the "dirty" parameter.
And if you want to ignore any changes to submodules, you can now do that
by using this option without parameters or with "all" (when the config
option status.submodulesummary is set, using "all" will also suppress the
output of the submodule summary).
A new function handle_ignore_submodules_arg() is introduced to parse this
option new to "git status" in a single location, as "git diff" already
knew it.

'--color-words' algorithm can be described as:
1. collect a the minus/plus lines of a diff hunk, divided into
minus-lines and plus-lines;
2. break both minus-lines and plus-lines into words and
place them into two mmfile_t with one word for each line;
3. use xdiff to run diff on the two mmfile_t to get the words level diff;
And for the common parts of the both file, we output the plus side text.
diff_words->current_plus is used to trace the current position of the plus file
which printed. diff_words->last_minus is used to trace the last minus word
printed.
For '--graph' to work with '--color-words', we need to output the graph prefix
on each line of color words output. Generally, there are two conditions on
which we should output the prefix.
1. diff_words->last_minus == 0 &&
diff_words->current_plus == diff_words->plus.text.ptr
that is: the plus text must start as a new line, and if there is no minus
word printed, a graph prefix must be printed.
2. diff_words->current_plus > diff_words->plus.text.ptr &&
*(diff_words->current_plus - 1) == '\n'
that is: a graph prefix must be printed following a '\n'

Since the graph prefix will be printed when calling
emit_line, so the functions should be used to emit a
complete line out once a time. No one should call
emit_line to just output some strings instead of a
complete line.
Use a strbuf to compose the whole line, and then
call emit_line to output it once.

In the metainfo section of git diffs there's an "index" line providing
abbreviated (unless --full-index is used) blob SHA1s from the
pre-/post-images used to generate the diff. These provide hints that
can be used to reconstruct a 3-way merge when applying the patch
(see the --3way option to 'git am' for more details).
In order for this to work, however, the blob SHA1s must not be
abbreviated into ambiguity.
This patch eliminates the possible ambiguity by using find_unique_abbrev()
to produce the abbreviated SHA1s (instead of blind abbreviation by way of
"%.*s").
A testcase verifying the fix is also included.

Add a macro DIFF_QUEUE_CLEAR.
Coloring the extended headers where done as a whole not per line. less with
option -R (which is the default from git) does not support this coloring
mode because of performance reasons. The -r option would be an alternative
but has problems with lines that are longer than the screen. Therefore
stick to the idiom to color each line separately. The problem is, that the
result of ill_metainfo() will also be used as an parameter to an external
diff driver, so we need to disable coloring in this case.
Because coloring is now done inside fill_metainfo() we can simply add this
string to the diff header and therefore keep the last newline in the
extended header. This results also into the fact that the external diff
driver now gets this last newline too. Which is a change in behavior
but a good one.

When file renames/copies detection is turned on, the
second diffcore_std will degrade a 'C' pair to a 'R' pair.
And this may happen when we run 'git log --follow' with
hard copies finding. That is, the try_to_follow_renames()
will run diffcore_std to find the copies, and then
'git log' will issue another diffcore_std, which will reduce
'src->rename_used' and recognize this copy as a rename.
This is not what we want.
So, I think we really don't need to run diffcore_std more
than one time.

xdi_diff_outf() overrides the structure members of its last parameter,
ignoring any value that callers pass in. It's no surprise then that all
callers pass a pointer to an uninitialized structure. They also don't
read it after the call, so the parameter is neither used for input nor
for output. Turn it into a local variable of xdi_diff_outf().

Ever since the xdiff library had been introduced to git, all its callers
have used the flag XDF_NEED_MINIMAL. It makes sure that the smallest
possible diff is produced, but that takes quite some time if there are
lots of differences that can be expressed in multiple ways.
This flag makes a difference for only 0.1% of the non-merge commits in
the git repo of Linux, both in terms of diff size and execution time.
The patches there are mostly nice and small.
SungHyun Nam however reported a case in a different repo where a diff
took more than 20 times longer to generate with XDF_NEED_MINIMAL than
without. Rebasing became really slow.
This patch removes this flag from all callers. The default of xdiff is
saner because it has minimal to no impact in the normal case of small
diffs and doesn't incur that much of a speed penalty for large ones.
A follow-up patch may introduce a command line option to set the flag if
the user needs it, similar to GNU diff's -d/--minimal.

The diffstat "added" and "changed" fields generally store
line counts; however, for binary files, they store file
sizes. Since we store and print these values as ints, a
diffstat on a file larger than 2G can show a negative size.
Instead, let's use uintmax_t, which should be at least 64
bits on modern platforms.

This teaches the --color-words engine a more general interface that
supports two new modes:
* --word-diff=plain, inspired by the 'wdiff' utility (most similar to
'wdiff -n <old> <new>'): uses delimiters [-removed-] and {+added+}
* --word-diff=porcelain, which generates an ad-hoc machine readable
format:
- each diff unit is prefixed by [-+ ] and terminated by newline as
in unified diff
- newlines in the input are output as a line consisting only of a
tilde '~'
Both of these formats still support color if it is enabled, using it
to highlight the differences. --color-words becomes a synonym for
--word-diff=color, which is the color-only format. Also adds some
compatibility/convenience options.

builtin_diff calls fill_mmfile fairly early, which in turn
calls diff_populate_filespec, which actually retrieves the
file's blob contents into a buffer. Long ago, this was
sensible as we would need to look at the blobs eventually.
These days, however, we may not ever want those blobs if we
end up using a textconv cache, and for large binary files
(exactly the sort for which you might have a textconv
cache), just retrieving the objects can be costly.
This patch just pushes the fill_mmfile call a bit later, so
we can avoid populating the filespec in some cases. There
is one thing to note that looks like a bug but isn't. We
push the fill_mmfile down into the first branch of a
conditional. It seems like we would need it on the other
branch, too, but we don't; fill_textconv does it for us (in
fact, before this, we were just writing over the results of
the fill_mmfile on that branch).
Here's a timing sample on a commit with 45 changed jpgs and
avis. The result is fully textconv cached, but we still
wasted a lot of time just pulling the blobs from storage.
The total size of the blobs (source and dest) is about
180M.
[before]
$ time git show >/dev/null
real 0m0.352s
user 0m0.148s
sys 0m0.200s
[after]
$ time git show >/dev/null
real 0m0.009s
user 0m0.004s
sys 0m0.004s
And that's on a warm cache. On a cold cache, the "after"
case is not much worse, but the "before" case has to do an
extra 180M of I/O.

Running a textconv filter can take a long time. It's
particularly bad for a large file which needs to be spooled
to disk, but even for small files, the fork+exec overhead
can add up for something like "git log -p".
This patch uses the notes-cache mechanism to keep a fast
cache of textconv output. Caches are stored in
refs/notes/textconv/$x, where $x is the userdiff driver
defined in gitattributes.
Caching is enabled only if diff.$x.cachetextconv is true.
In my test repo, on a commit with 45 jpg and avi files
changed and a textconv to show their exif tags:
[before]
$ time git show >/dev/null
real 0m13.724s
user 0m12.057s
sys 0m1.624s
[after, first run]
$ git config diff.mfo.cachetextconv true
$ time git show >/dev/null
real 0m14.252s
user 0m12.197s
sys 0m1.800s
[after, subsequent runs]
$ time git show >/dev/null
real 0m0.352s
user 0m0.148s
sys 0m0.200s
So for a slight (3.8%) cost on the first run, we achieve an
almost 40x speed up on subsequent runs.
