/**
 * @file git2/diff.h
 * @brief Git tree and file differencing routines.
 *
 * Calculating diffs is generally done in two phases: building a diff list
 * then traversing the diff list.  This makes is easier to share logic
 * across the various types of diffs (tree vs tree, workdir vs index, etc.),
 * and also allows you to insert optional diff list post-processing phases,
 * such as rename detected, in between the steps.  When you are done with a
 * diff list object, it must be freed.
