16d4bd4f14 leak tests: mark some diff tests as passing with SANITIZE=leak
Mark some tests that match "*diff*" as passing when git is compiled
with SANITIZE=leak. They'll now be listed as running under the
"GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" test mode (the "linux-leaks" CI
target).

30d005c020 diff: use blob path for blob/file diffs
When we diff a blob against a working tree file like:

  git diff HEAD:Makefile Makefile

we always use the working tree filename for both sides of
the diff. In most cases that's fine, as the two would be the
same anyway, as above. And until recently, we used the
"name" for the blob, not the path, which would have the
messy "HEAD:" on the beginning.

But when they don't match, like:

  git diff HEAD:old_path new_path

it makes sense to show both names.

This patch uses the blob's path field if it's available, and
otherwise falls back to using the filename (in preference to
the blob's name, which is likely to be garbage like a raw
sha1).

158b06caee diff: use pending "path" if it is available
There's a subtle distinction between "name" and "path" for a
blob that we resolve: the name is what the user told us on
the command line, and the path is what we traversed when
finding the blob within a tree (if we did so).

When we diff blobs directly, we use "name", but "path" is
more likely to be useful to the user (it will find the
correct .gitattributes, and give them a saner diff header).

We still have to fall back to using the name for some cases
(i.e., any blob reference that isn't of the form tree:path).
That's the best we can do in such a case.

101dd4de16 handle_revision_arg: record modes for "a..b" endpoints
The "a..b" revision syntax was designed to handle commits,
so it doesn't bother to record any mode we find while
traversing a "tree:path" endpoint. These days "git diff" can
diff blobs using either "a:path..b:path" (with dots) or
"a:path b:path" (without), but the two behave
inconsistently, as the with-dots version fails to notice the
mode.

Let's teach the dot-dot range parser to record modes; it
doesn't cost us anything, and it makes this case work.

74e89110a3 t4063: add tests of direct blob diffs
The git-diff command can directly compare two blobs (or a
blob and a file), but we don't test this at all. Let's add
some basic tests that reveal a few problems.

There are basically four interesting inputs:

  1. sha1 against sha1 (where diff has no information beyond
     the contents)

  2. tree:path against tree:path (where it can get
     information via get_sha1_with_context)

  3. Same as (2), but using the ".." range syntax

  4. tree:path against a filename

And beyond generating a sane diff, we care about a few
little bits: which paths they show in the diff header, and
whether they correctly pick up a mode change.

They should all be able to show a mode except for (1),
though note that case (3) is currently broken.

For the headers, we would ideally show the path within the
tree if we have it, making:

  git diff a:path b:path

look the same as:

  git diff a b -- path

We can't always do that (e.g., in the direct sha1/sha1 diff,
we have no path to show), in which case we should fall back
to the name that resolved to the blob (which is nonsense
from the repository's perspective, but is the best we can
do).

Aside from the fallback case in (1), none of the cases get
this right. Cases (2) and (3) always show the full
tree:path, even though we should be able to know just the
"path" portion.

Case (4) picks up the filename path, but assigns it to
_both_ sides of the diff. So this works for:

  git diff tree:path path

but not for:

  git diff tree:other_path path

The appropriate tests are marked to expect failure.
