diff_opt: track whether flags have been set explicitly

2013-05-10T17:24:17+00:00

The diff_opt infrastructure sets flags based on defaults and command
line options.  It is impossible to tell whether a flag has been set
as a default or on explicit request.  Update the structure so that
this detection is possible:

 * Add an extra "opt->touched_flags" that keeps track of all the
   fields that have been touched by DIFF_OPT_SET and DIFF_OPT_CLR.

 * You may continue setting the default values to the flags, like
   commands in the "log" family do in cmd_log_init_defaults(), but
   after you finished setting the defaults, you clear the
   touched_flags field;

 * And then you let the usual callchain call diff_opt_parse(),
   allowing the opt->flags be set or unset, while keeping track of
   which bits the user touched;

 * There is an optional callback "opt->set_default" that is called
   at the very beginning to let you inspect touched_flags and update
   opt->flags appropriately, before the remainder of the diffcore
   machinery is set up, taking the opt->flags value into account.

Start preparing the API documents.

Most of them are still stubs, but the procedure to build the HTML
documentation, maintaining the index and installing the end product are
there.

I placed names of people who are likely to know the most about the topic
in the stub files, so that volunteers will know whom to ask questions as
needed.
