Many scripts compare actual and expected output using
"diff -u". This is nicer than "cmp" because the output shows
how the two differ. However, not all versions of diff
understand -u, leading to unnecessary test failure.
This adds a test_cmp function to the test scripts and
switches all "diff -u" invocations to use it. The function
uses the contents of "$GIT_TEST_CMP" to compare its
arguments; the default is "diff -u".
On systems with a less-capable diff, you can do:
GIT_TEST_CMP=cmp make test

When a topic branch is rebased, some of whose commits are already
cherry-picked upstream:
o--X--A--B--Y <- master
\
A--B--Z <- topic
then 'git rebase -m master' would report:
Already applied: 0001 Y
Already applied: 0002 Y
With this fix it reports the expected:
Already applied: 0001 A
Already applied: 0002 B
As an added bonus, this change also avoids 'echo' of a commit message,
which might contain escapements.
