The memory ownership rule of fill_textconv() API, which was a bit
tricky, has been documented a bit better.

diff: activate diff.renames by default

2016-02-25T19:31:02+00:00

Rename detection is a very convenient feature, and new users shouldn't
have to dig in the documentation to benefit from it.

Potential objections to activating rename detection are that it
sometimes fail, and it is sometimes slow. But rename detection is
already activated by default in several cases like "git status" and "git
merge", so activating diff.renames does not fundamentally change the
situation. When the rename detection fails, it now fails consistently
between "git diff" and "git status".

This setting does not affect plumbing commands, hence well-written
scripts will not be affected.

diff_populate_gitlink: use a strbuf

2016-02-22T22:51:09+00:00

We allocate 100 bytes to hold the "Submodule commit ..."
text. This is enough, but it's not immediately obvious that
this is the case, and we have to repeat the magic 100 twice.

We could get away with xstrfmt here, but we want to know the
size, as well, so let's use a real strbuf. And while we're
here, we can clean up the logic around size_only. It
currently sets and clears the "data" field pointlessly, and
leaves the "should_free" flag on even after we have cleared
the data.

convert trivial cases to FLEX_ARRAY macros

2016-02-22T22:51:09+00:00

Using FLEX_ARRAY macros reduces the amount of manual
computation size we have to do. It also ensures we don't
overflow size_t, and it makes sure we write the same number
of bytes that we allocated.

diff: clarify textconv interface

2016-02-22T18:40:35+00:00

The memory allocation scheme for the textconv interface is a
bit tricky, and not well documented. It was originally
designed as an internal part of diff.c (matching
fill_mmfile), but gradually was made public.

Refactoring it is difficult, but we can at least improve the
situation by documenting the intended flow and enforcing it
with an in-code assertion.

Merge branch 'nd/diff-with-path-params' into maint

2016-02-05T22:54:15+00:00

A few options of "git diff" did not work well when the command was
run from a subdirectory.

* nd/diff-with-path-params:
  diff: make -O and --output work in subdirectory
  diff-no-index: do not take a redundant prefix argument
