This refactors the line-by-line callback mechanism used in
combine-diff so that other programs can reuse it more easily.

Introduce tree-walk.[ch] and move "struct tree_desc" and
associated functions from various places.
Rename DIFF_FILE_CANON_MODE(mode) macro to canon_mode(mode) and
move it to cache.h. This macro returns the canonicalized
st_mode value in the host byte order for files, symlinks and
directories -- to be compared with a tree_desc entry.
create_ce_mode(mode) in cache.h is similar but is intended to be
used for index entries (so it does not work for directories) and
returns the value in the network byte order.

When showing a conflicted merge from index stages and working
tree file, we did not fetch the mode from the working tree,
and mistook that as a deleted file. Also if the manual
resolution (or automated resolution by git rerere) ended up
taking either parent's version, we did not show _anything_ for
that path. Either was quite bad and confusing.

This shows "new file mode XXXX" and "deleted file mode XXXX"
lines like two-way diff-patch output does, by checking the
status from each parent.
The diff-raw output for combined diff is made a bit uglier by
showing diff status letters with each parent. While most of the
case you would see "MM" in the output, an Evil Merge that
touches a path that was added by inheriting from one parent is
possible and it would be shown like these:
$ git-diff-tree --abbrev -c HEAD

Earlier it did not grok the 0{40} SHA1 very well, but what it
needed to do was to find the shortest 0{N} that is not used as a
valid object name to be consistent with the way names of valid
objects are abbreviated. This makes some users simpler.

This way, diff-files can make use of it. Also implement the
full suite of what diff_flush_raw() supports just for
consistency. With this, 'diff-tree -c -r --name-status' would
show what is expected.
There is no way to get the historical output (useful for
debugging and low-level Plumbing work) anymore, so tentatively
it makes '-m' to mean "do not combine and show individual diffs
with parents".
diff-files matches diff-tree to produce raw output for -c. For
textual combined diff, use -p -c.

This is needed to make "diff-tree -c -M" to work semi-sensibly.

NOTE! This makes "-c" be the default, which effectively means that merges
are never ignored any more, and "-m" is a no-op. So it changes semantics.
I would also like to make "--cc" the default if you do patches, but didn't
actually do that.
The raw output format is not wonderfully pretty, but it's distinguishable
from a "normal patch" in that a normal patch with just one parent has just
one colon at the beginning, while a multi-parent raw diff has <n> colons
for <n> parents.
So now, in the kernel, when you do
git-diff-tree cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd
(to see the manual ARM merge that had a conflict in arch/arm/Kconfig), you
get
cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd
::100644 100644 100644 4a63a8e2e45247a11c068c6ed66c6e7aba29ddd9 77eee38762d69d3de95ae45dd9278df9b8225e2c 2f61726d2f4b636f6e66696700dbf71a59dad287 arch/arm/Kconfig
ie you see two colons (two parents), then three modes (parent modes
followed by result mode), then three sha1s (parent sha1s followed by
result sha1).
Which is pretty close to the normal raw diff output.
Cool/stupid exercise:
$ git-whatchanged | grep '^::' | cut -f2- | sort |
uniq -c | sort -n | less -S
will show which files have needed the most file-level merge conflict
resolution. Useful? Probably not. But kind of interesting.

When we remove a file, the parents' contents are all removed so
it is not that interesting to show all of them, but the fact it
was removed when all parents had it *is* unusual. When we add a
file, similarly the fact it was added when no parent wanted it
*is* unusual, and in addition the result matters, so show it.

This updates the output format to make administrative lines more
consistent with the traditional diffs.
The "index" line shows blob object names from each parents
(separated by commas), double dots and the object name of the
resulting blob.
The hunk header line begins with N+1 '@' characters for N-way
diff, the line number L of the first line in the hunk and line
count C from the parent in "-L,C" format for each parents and
then the line number of the first line in the hunk and line
count from the resulting file in "+L,C" format, and finally
N+1 '@' characters (earlier versions had the line numbers from
the resulting file at the beginning).

The flag on the surviving lines meant "this parent is not
different" while the parent_map flag on the lost lines meant
"this parent is different", which was confusing. So swap the
meaning of on-bit in the flag. Also more heavily comment the
code.

The code misplaced a raw hunk that consists of solely deleted

The earlier change implemented "only two version" check but
without checking if the change rewrites from all the parents.
This implements a check to make sure that a change introduced
by the merge from all the parents is caught to be interesting.

Earlier logic was discarding hunks that has difference from only
one parent or the same difference from all but one parent. This
changes it to check if the differences on all lines are from the
same sets of parents. This discards more uninteresting hunks
and seems to match expectations more naturally.

When dealing with an insanely large Octopus, it is possible to
optimize by noticing that more than one parents have the same

result by reusing an earlier result.

This ports the "combined diff" to diff-files so that differences
to the working tree files since stage 2 and stage 3 are shown
the same way as combined diff output from diff-tree for the

Earlier round showed the commit log header and "diff --combined"
header even for paths that had no interesting hunk under --cc
flag. Move the header display logic around to squelch them.
With this, a merge that does not have any interesting merges
will not be shown with --cc option, unless -m is used at the
same time.

Santi Bejar points out that a hunk that changes from all the
same common parents except one is uninteresting. The earlier
round marked changes from only one parent uninteresting, but
this also marks hunks that have the same change from all but one
parent uninteresting, which is a natural extension of the
original idea to Octopus merges.

A new option '-c' to diff-tree changes the way a merge commit is
displayed when generating a patch output. It shows a "combined
diff" (hence the option letter 'c'), which looks like this:

- static void describe(struct commit *cmit, int last_one)
++ static void describe(char *arg, int last_one)
{
+ unsigned char sha1[20];
+ struct commit *cmit;
There are a few things to note about this feature:
- The '-c' option implies '-p'. It also implies '-m' halfway
in the sense that "interesting" merges are shown, but not all
merges.
- When a blob matches one of the parents, we do not show a diff
for that path at all. For a merge commit, this option shows
paths with real file-level merge (aka "interesting things").
- As a concequence of the above, an "uninteresting" merge is
not shown at all. You can use '-m' in addition to '-c' to
show the commit log for such a merge, but there will be no
combined diff output.
- Unlike "gitk", the output is monochrome.
A '-' character in the nth column means the line is from the nth
parent and does not appear in the merge result (i.e. removed
from that parent's version).
A '+' character in the nth column means the line appears in the
merge result, and the nth parent does not have that line
(i.e. added by the merge itself or inherited from another
parent).
The above example output shows that the function signature was
changed from either parents (hence two "-" lines and a "++"
line), and "unsigned char sha1[20]", prefixed by a " +", was
inherited from the first parent.
The code as sent to the list was buggy in few corner cases,
which I have fixed since then.
It does not bother to keep track of and show the line numbers
from parent commits, which it probably should.
