textconv_object is used in places other than blame.c and should be moved
to a more appropriate location.  Other textconv related functions are
located in diff.c so that seems as good a place as any.

The feature was included in v2.11 (released 2016-11-29) and we got no
negative feedback. Quite the opposite, all feedback we got was positive.

Turn it on by default. Users who dislike the feature can turn it off
by setting diff.indentHeuristic (which also configures plumbing commands,
see prior patches).

The change to t/t4051-diff-function-context.sh is needed because the
heuristic shifts the changed hunk in the patch.  To get the same result
regardless of the heuristic configuration, we modify the test file
differently:  We insert a completely new line after line 2, instead of
simply duplicating it.

This heuristic was originally introduced as an experimental feature,
and therefore part of the UI configuration.

But the user often sees diffs generated by plumbing commands like
diff-tree.  Moving the indent heuristic into diff's basic configuration
prepares the way for diff plumbing commands to respect the setting.

The heuristic itself merely makes the diffs more aesthetically
pleasing, without changing their correctness.  Scripts that rely on
the diff plumbing commands should not care whether or not the heuristic
is employed.

Convert as many instances of unsigned char [20] as possible.  Update the
callers of notes_cache_get and notes_cache_put to use the new interface.
Among the functions updated are callers of
lookup_commit_reference_gently, which we will soon convert.

<title>diff: avoid fixed-size buffer for patch-ids</title>

<id>977db6b4bf36e76dfd5d0a4ae8b8258334d4b1ea</id>
<content type='text'>
To generate a patch id, we format the diff header into a
fixed-size buffer, and then feed the result to our sha1
computation. The fixed buffer has size '4*PATH_MAX + 20',
which in theory accommodates the four filenames plus some
extra data. Except:

  1. The filenames may not be constrained to PATH_MAX. The
     static value may not be a real limit on the current
     filesystem. Moreover, we may compute patch-ids for
     names stored only in git, without touching the current
     filesystem at all.

  2. The 20 bytes is not nearly enough to cover the
     extra content we put in the buffer.

As a result, the data we feed to the sha1 computation may be
truncated, and it's possible that a commit with a very long
filename could erroneously collide in the patch-id space
with another commit. For instance, if one commit modified
"really-long-filename/foo" and another modified "bar" in the
same directory.

In practice this is unlikely. Because the filenames are
repeated, and because there's a single cutoff at the end of
the buffer, the offending filename would have to be on the
order of four times larger than PATH_MAX.

We could fix this by moving to a strbuf. However, we can
observe that the purpose of formatting this in the first
place is to feed it to git_SHA1_Update(). So instead, let's
just feed each part of the formatted string directly. This
actually ends up more readable, and we can even factor out
some duplicated bits from the various conditional branches.

Technically this may change the output of patch-id for very
long filenames, but it's not worth making an exception for
this in the --stable output. It was a bug, and one that only
affected an unlikely set of paths.  And anyway, the exact
value would have varied from platform to platform depending
on the value of PATH_MAX, so there is no "stable" value.
