As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.

We use 'A' for added files instead of 'N' to make the it
visually easier to distinguish from 'M' now.
While we are at it, make the test scripts executable. Yes, I
know it does not matter because t/Makefile runs them explicitly
with "sh tXXXX-blah.sh", but being consistent is always better.

Like diff-tree, this patch makes -C option for diff-* brothers
to use only pre-image of modified files as rename/copy detection
by default. Give --find-copies-harder to use unmodified files
to find copies from as well.
This also fixes "diff-files -C" problem earlier noticed by
Linus. It was feeding the null sha1 even when the file in the
work tree was known to match what is in the index file. This
resulted in diff-files showing everything in the project.

Clearly even Junio felt git "rename" header lines should say "from/to"
instead of "old/new", since he wrote the documentation that way.
This way it also matches "copy".
git-apply will accept both versions, at least for a while.

There were duplicate script pieces to help comparing diff
output, which this patch consolidates into the t/diff-lib.sh
library.

Earlier implementation had a major screw-up in the memory
management area. Rename/copy logic sometimes borrowed a pointer
to a structure without any provision for downstream to determine
which pointer is shared and which is not. This resulted in the
later clean-up code to sometimes double free such structure,
resulting in a segfault. This made -M and -C useless.
Another problem the earlier implementation had was that it
reordered the patches, and forced the logic to differentiate
renames and copies to depend on that particular order. This
problem was fixed by teaching rename/copy detection logic not to
do any reordering, and rename-copy differentiator not to depend
on the order of the patches. The diffs will leave rename/copy
detector in the same destination path order as the patch that
was fed into it. Some test vectors have been reordered to
accommodate this change.
It also adds a sanity check logic to the human-readable diff-raw
output to detect paths with embedded TAB and LF characters,
which cannot be expressed with that format. This idea came up
during a discussion with Chris Wedgwood.

This changes the diff-raw format again, following the mailing
list discussion. The new format explicitly expresses which one
is a rename and which one is a copy.
The documentation and tests are updated to match this change.

The rename/copy detection logic in earlier round was only good
enough to show patch output and discussion on the mailing list
about the diff-raw format updates revealed many problems with
it. This patch fixes all the ones known to me, without making
things I want to do later impossible, mostly related to patch
reordering.
(1) Earlier rename/copy detector determined which one is rename
and which one is copy too early, which made it impossible
to later introduce diffcore transformers to reorder
patches. This patch fixes it by moving that logic to the
very end of the processing.
(2) Earlier output routine diff_flush() was pruning all the
"no-change" entries indiscriminatingly. This was done due
to my false assumption that one of the requirements in the
diff-raw output was not to show such an entry (which
resulted in my incorrect comment about "diff-helper never
being able to be equivalent to built-in diff driver"). My
special thanks go to Linus for correcting me about this.
When we produce diff-raw output, for the downstream to be
able to tell renames from copies, sometimes it _is_
necessary to output "no-change" entries, and this patch
adds diffcore_prune() function for doing it.
(3) Earlier diff_filepair structure was trying to be not too
specific about rename/copy operations, but the purpose of
the structure was to record one or two paths, which _was_
indeed about rename/copy. This patch discards xfrm_msg
field which was trying to be generic for this wrong reason,
and introduces a couple of fields (rename_score and
rename_rank) that are explicitly specific to rename/copy
logic. One thing to note is that the information in a
single diff_filepair structure _still_ does not distinguish
renames from copies, and it is deliberately so. This is to
allow patches to be reordered in later stages.
(4) This patch also adds some tests about diff-raw format
output and makes sure that necessary "no-change" entries
appear on the output.

Update the diff-raw format as Linus and I discussed, except that
it does not use sequence of underscore '_' letters to express
nonexistence. All '0' mode is used for that purpose instead.
The new diff-raw format can express rename/copy, and the earlier
restriction that -M and -C _must_ be used with the patch format
output is no longer necessary. The patch makes -M and -C flags
independent of -p flag, so you need to say git-whatchanged -M -p
to get the diff/patch format.
Updated are both documentations and tests.

Don't do "-u0", use "--unified=0" which is accepted by modern GNU
diff versions.

This patch extends diff-cache and diff-files to report the
unmodified files to diff-core as well when -C (copy detection)
is in effect, so that the unmodified files can also be used as
the source candidates. The existing test t4003 has been
extended to cover this case.

This introduces the diff-core, the layer between the diff-tree
family and the external diff interface engine. The calls to the
interface diff-tree family uses (diff_change and diff_addremove)
have not changed and will not change. The purpose of the
diff-core layer is to provide an infrastructure to transform the
set of differences sent from the applications, before sending
them to the external diff interface.
The recently introduced rename detection code has been rewritten
to use the diff-core facility. When applications send in
separate creates and deletes, matching ones are transformed into
a single rename-and-edit diff, and sent out to the external diff
interface as such.
This patch also enhances the rename detection code further to be
able to detect copies. Currently this happens only as long as
copy sources appear as part of the modified files, but there
already is enough provision for callers to report unmodified
files to diff-core, so that they can be also used as copy source
candidates. Extending the callers this way will be done in a
separate patch.
Please see and marvel at how well this works by trying out the
newly added t/t4003-diff-rename-1.sh test script.
