/**
 * @file git2/diff.h
 * @brief Git tree and file differencing routines.
 *
 * Overview
 * --------
 *
 * Calculating diffs is generally done in two phases: building a list of
 * diffs then traversing it.  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 post-processing phases,
 * such as rename detection, in between the steps.  When you are done with
 * a diff object, it must be freed.
 *
 * Terminology
 * -----------
 *
 * To understand the diff APIs, you should know the following terms:
 *
 * - A `diff` represents the cumulative list of differences between two
 *   snapshots of a repository (possibly filtered by a set of file name
 *   patterns).  This is the `git_diff` object.
 *
 * - A `delta` is a file pair with an old and new revision.  The old version
 *   may be absent if the file was just created and the new version may be
 *   absent if the file was deleted.  A diff is mostly just a list of deltas.
 *
 * - A `binary` file / delta is a file (or pair) for which no text diffs
 *   should be generated.  A diff can contain delta entries that are
 *   binary, but no diff content will be output for those files.  There is
 *   a base heuristic for binary detection and you can further tune the
 *   behavior with git attributes or diff flags and option settings.
 *
 * - A `hunk` is a span of modified lines in a delta along with some stable
 *   surrounding context.  You can configure the amount of context and other
 *   properties of how hunks are generated.  Each hunk also comes with a
 *   header that described where it starts and ends in both the old and new
 *   versions in the delta.
 *
 * - A `line` is a range of characters inside a hunk.  It could be a context
 *   line (i.e. in both old and new versions), an added line (i.e. only in
 *   the new version), or a removed line (i.e. only in the old version).
 *   Unfortunately, we don't know anything about the encoding of data in the
 *   file being diffed, so we cannot tell you much about the line content.
 *   Line data will not be NUL-byte terminated, however, because it will be
 *   just a span of bytes inside the larger file.

 * files in add/delete pairs.  After that call, deltas with a status of
 * GIT_DELTA_RENAMED or GIT_DELTA_COPIED will have a similarity score
 * between 0 and 100 indicating how similar the old and new sides are.
 *
 * If you ask `git_diff_find_similar` to find heavily modified files to
 * break, but to not *actually* break the records, then GIT_DELTA_MODIFIED
 * records may have a non-zero similarity score if the self-similarity is
 * below the split threshold.  To display this value like core Git, invert
